RALEIGH - The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) has announced that Colonel Richard W. Holden, Commander of the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, is one of five new Commissioners.
"Colonel Holden's selection to Commissioner is both an honor to him and the Highway Patrol," said Bryan Beatty Secretary of the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety. "His selection is recognition of his reputation for professionalism and excellence in law enforcement."
CALEA was established as an independent accrediting authority in 1979 by the four major law enforcement executive associations: International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP); National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE); National Sheriff's Association (NSA); and Police Executive Research Forum (PERF). The executive directors of these four associations appoint members to the Commission annually. The Commission has 21 members; 11 members are law enforcement practitioners; the remaining 10 members are from the public and private sectors. The Commission meets three times a year, and the position is voluntary with Commissioners appointed to a three year term.
"Colonel Holden will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience that will be beneficial to CALEA in meeting its mission," said Sylvester Daughtry Jr., Executive Director of CALEA.
