WILEAG Accreditation
Dodge County Sheriff's Office earned a WILEAG Accreditation in August of 2023 after a rigorous assessment from this statewide organization.
What is a WILEAG Accreditation?
Becoming WILEAG certified means a law enforcement agency has met a rigorous set of professional standards designed to ensure quality policing, accountability, and strong organizational practices. The certification process requires months of preparation, including detailed policy reviews, documentation of procedures, staff training, and an independent on-site assessment.
Agencies must demonstrate they meet hundreds of standards covering everything from use of force and evidence handling to training and administration. Achieving WILEAG certification reflects a department’s commitment to professionalism, transparency, and continuous improvement in service to the community.
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.
WILEAG Mission Statement
WILEAG’s primary mission is to offer a voluntary and affordable method of achieving professionalism through the accreditation of law enforcement agencies and to assist those agencies to better serve their communities.
Accreditation is a progressive and time-proven way of helping institutions evaluate and improve their overall performance. The key to any successful accreditation system lies in the consensus of published standards obtaining a clear statement of professional objectives.
