Assessors from the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators begin their assessment in August.
A team of assessors from the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA) will begin a reaccreditation assessment of Elon University Campus Safety and Police on August 16. The assessment will examine all aspects of the Elon University Campus Police policy and procedures, management, operation and support services.
Verification by the assessment team that Elon University Campus Safety & Police meets IACLEA’s nationally recognized standards is part of a voluntary accreditation process. Accreditation is a distinguished recognition of professional excellence in campus public safety.
The assessment team is composed of experienced campus law enforcement professionals from outside North Carolina. During the assessment, the team will review written materials, interview department personnel and other stakeholders, and inspect facilities to verify compliance with applicable standards.
Members of the university community, department employees and the general public are invited to provide comments by calling 912-658-0784 on August 18, between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. (ET). Comments will be received by members of the assessment team.
Telephone comments should address the department’s ability to comply with IACLEA accreditation standards. The IACLEA Accreditation Standards Manual is available on the IACLEA website at www.iaclea.org.
Written comments regarding the Elon University Campus Safety & Police Department’s compliance with IACLEA accreditation standards may be submitted via email to jmurphy@iaclea.org.
Accreditation is awarded for a four-year period. During that time, the department must submit annual reports demonstrating continued compliance with applicable IACLEA standards.
Elon Campus Safety and Police earned a rare dual accreditation from the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators and the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. Fewer than 100 law enforcement agencies across the country have earned dual accreditations. The department has held accreditation through IALEA since 2018 and earned accreditation through CALEA in 2025.
