Message from the Chair
Oh Canada! | | Richard Myers |
This issue's focus on our Canadian agencies led to many fond memories for me. I grew up in Lower Michigan, and as a child, often camped throughout Ontario, Canada. On the night following my wedding we were in Windsor, Ontario looking across the Detroit River at the skyline lights reflecting on the water. Over many years, I've traversed much of Ontario, from the "bush" of the north to the bustling urbanized area of one of my favorite cities in the world, Toronto. I've also had the pleasure of seeing some of British Columbia way to the west, and its rugged beauty juxtaposed next to the vital city of Vancouver. Read On

The Value of CALEA Accreditation
A Canadian Perspective
Carol Ann Levac, Accreditation/Quality Assurance Manager
Cornwall Community Police Service
Cornwall, ON
The value of the accreditation process is a direct reflection of the universal principles the law enforcement standards embody. Whether your agency services a community in Barbados, Canada, Mexico, or the United States, the standards are unifying. They transcend the differences in the structure of our respective policing environments, the regulating bodies and statutes, or the spoken language, and focus instead on the day-to-day delivery of effective policing. Each service can take great pride in their pursuit of excellence. Read On |

CVE is a branch under the Public Security Division of Justice and Solicitor General in Alberta, Canada. CVE's mandate differs from police agencies, employing provincially appointed peace officers to enforce commercial vehicles on more than 30,000 kilometers of highways province wide. Read On
