March 2025
The Elk Grove Village Police Department has once again demonstrated its commitment to excellence, earning Advanced Law Enforcement Accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) on November 20, 2024. The department first earned CALEA accreditation in 1993 and has now been re-accredited for the 10th time, placing it among the top 5% of law enforcement agencies nationwide.
This prestigious recognition follows a multi-year evaluation of the department’s policies, procedures, community engagement, equipment, and facilities. Police Chief David Dorn, Deputy Chief Scott Eisenmenger, and Police Services Administrator Bolor Bat-Erdem attended the CALEA conference in Jacksonville, FL, where the decision was finalized by a governing body of 21 Commissioners.
Additionally, it received CALEA’s Advanced Meritorious Award, recognizing its long-standing commitment to professional excellence. CALEA Accreditation serves as the foundation for a successful, well-managed, transparent, and community-focused public safety agency. To maintain its accredited status, the agency must comply with CALEA standards at all times.
