Campus Security Accreditation: Cost | CALEA® | The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc.
Initial Accreditation fees are due when an agency signs its CALEA Campus Security Accreditation Agreement. There are two payment options available: (1) lump sum/single payment or (2) two installments.
The following table depicts current initial accreditation fees.
*Some agencies may require fees beyond those established and the Commission reserves the right to make special adjustments.
In addition to the initial accreditation fees, agencies will be invoiced separately for the estimated on-site costs of the initial assessment. Actual on-site costs are impacted by lodging, airfare, the number of assessors utilized, and other factors specifically related to the assessed agency and the geographical area in which it is located.
The initial CALEA Campus Security Agreement between the agency and CALEA is for 24 months; however some agencies are able to complete self-assessment within a much shorter time. If the agency has not completed self-assessment or scheduled its initial on-site by the end of the 24th month of the initial agreement period, the agency may request an annual extension of the Agreement at a cost of 55% the initial accreditation fee in effect.
