Accreditation

---

The Altoona Police Department has applied to be accredited at the state level through the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Accreditation Group (WILEAG) in addition to our national accreditation. As part of the on-site assessment, members of the community are invited to offer comments at a public information session on May 15, 2025 at 1:00pm. The session will be conducted in the Altoona Police Department, located at 1904 Spooner Ave, Altoona.

If for some reason an individual cannot speak at the public information session but would still like to provide comments to the assessment team, he/she may do so by telephone. The public may call 715-839-6090 ext. 1835 on May 15, 2025 between the hours of 10:00am and noon.

Telephone comments as well as appearances at the public information session are limited to 10 minutes and must address the agency’s ability to comply with WILEAG’s standards. A copy of the standards is available at http://www.wileag.info/full-accreditation.html. 

Persons wishing to offer written comments about the Altoona Police Department’s ability to meet the standards for accreditation are requested to write to Wisconsin Law Enforcement Accreditation Group, WILEAG at 7525 W. Greenfield Ave. West Allis, WI 53214.

Once the WILEAG Board’s assessors complete their review of the agency, they report back to the full Board, which will then decide if the agency is to be granted accredited status.

Accreditation status is granted for three years, during which time the agency must submit annual reports attesting continued compliance with those standards under which it was initially accredited.
