The two-year process involved aligning policies with industry best practices and an external assessment. Altoona joins just three other departments in Wisconsin with this designation, which highlights accountability and commitment to community safety. Accredited agencies often see reduced legal actions and lower liability insurance costs, according to CALEA.
