Taylor Mill Police Department Receives Fifth Consecutive CALEA Accreditation: The Taylor Mill Police Department is proud to announce that it has been awarded its fifth accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA). The CALEA accreditation is a rigorous process that involves meeting a comprehensive set of professional standards designed to enhance the delivery of public safety services. Achieving accreditation requires demonstrating compliance with policies and procedures across critical areas, including accountability, transparency, and community engagement. Chief James Mills emphasized the significance of this accomplishment, stating, “Earning our fifth CALEA accreditation is a reflection of the dedication and professionalism of our officers and staff. This process ensures that we uphold the highest standards in law enforcement, which translates to safer neighborhoods and stronger trust with the community we serve.” According to Chief Mills, maintaining CALEA accreditation is vital for the Taylor Mill Police Department because it provides a framework for continuous improvement. “Accreditation helps us align our practices with the best in the field, ensuring that we stay proactive and responsive to the evolving needs of our residents. It’s not just about recognition; it’s about delivering the quality of service our community deserves.” The Taylor Mill Police Department first achieved CALEA accreditation in 2010, and this milestone marks its fifth consecutive accreditation cycle. The department is among a select group of agencies nationwide to receive this distinction, and one of only three in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, reinforcing its position as a leader in law enforcement excellence. The Taylor Mill Police Department extends its gratitude to the community for their support and partnership, which are essential to achieving this honor. The department remains committed to fostering transparency, building trust, and ensuring public safety for all.

These plans can be used over a three-week time frame or individually. Additionally, on the “Kids Zone” portion of the website, there is an interactive map and online resources for each lesson. 

To further enhance their usefulness, the lessons are tired directly to the Kentucky Statewide Learning Goals and Academic Expectations.
