The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) is responsible for setting standards and accrediting law enforcement agencies in the United States. If Micah's department is found to have officers engaged in corruption, it could lose its accreditation from CALEA, which would have serious consequences for the department's reputation and ability to operate effectively. While civilian review boards and civil liability boards may also take action in response to corruption, the loss of accreditation from CALEA is the most significant and relevant consequence in this scenario. The Commission to Combat Police Corruption is a New York State agency and would not have jurisdiction over Micah's department.
