The Fresno Police Department is the largest municipal law enforcement agency in California to achieve this award. As of September 2009, only fourteen other agencies in California have become accredited by CALEA, with nine others currently in the self-assessment phase; one of those is the California Highway Patrol.
there are over 448 standards the department must meet to get accreditation and then hold that.
