Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies Public Comment Portal
The purpose of this public portal is to receive comments regarding an agency's compliance with CALEA standards, engagement in the service community, delivery of public safety services, and overall candidacy for accredited status. These comments can be in the form of commendations or concerns. The overall intent of the accreditation process is to provide the participating agency with information to support continuous improvement, as well as foster the pursuit of professional excellence.
IMPORTANT: CALEA is not an investigatory body and subsequently the public portal should not be used to submit information for such purposes. Additionally, there will be no response other than acknowledgement to submissions; however, the information will be considered in context to its relevancy to compliance with standards and the tenets of CALEA® Accreditation.
How to File a Complaint or Commendation for CPSS Staff
The College has adopted the following procedures for members of the community to commend the performance of CPSS personnel, or to address allegations of misconduct or abuse of authority.
To commend CPSS personnel for outstanding performance of duty at any of our campuses, contact the chief of police at 216-987-4425. Give the name of the person, the action you would like to commend and the approximate time the action occurred.
Generally, whether a student, staff member or faculty member files a complaint, the process involves reporting the alleged misconduct or abuse of authority and transmittal of that report to the site supervisor and the patrol lieutenant of the Department of Campus Police and Security Services. CPSS is charged with the investigation of all complaints lodged.
The department shall exercise its discretion in conducting the investigation in a manner that takes into consideration the rights of the accused, the rights of the complainant and the safety and needs of the College community while the investigation is being conducted.
Based on its investigation, the department will find the complaint substantiated or non-substantiated. If the complaint is substantiated and discipline is warranted, CPSS will coordinate its proposed discipline with the Human Resources department. CPSS will notify both the staff member and the complainant regarding the findings and disciplinary outcome.
Complaints lodged by individuals other than students, staff and faculty shall be filed with the Department of Campus Police and Security Services or Human Resources. The CPSS will conduct its investigation, make findings and, where discipline is warranted, will coordinate with Human Resources. The complainant will be notified of the outcome of the investigation and any discipline imposed.
