ACCREDITATION
The Texas Woman’s University Police Department is accredited through the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA) standards. Accreditation status is awarded after a thorough independent on-site evaluation. During the on-site evaluation, IACLEA assessors ensure the agency is in compliance with identified IACLEA standards and best practices. Attaining accredited status demonstrates to the community that an agency is committed to maintaining the highest standards of professional law enforcement service. The accreditation of an agency is awarded for a four-year period upon which the agency must apply for re-accreditation. Currently, only 1.5% of campus law enforcement agencies are accredited through IACLEA standards.
