Accreditation of Mexican Law Enforcement Agencies, Emergency Communications Centers and Police Academies to International Standards Stage II: The purpose of this project is the accreditation of management practices and delivery of law enforcement services of Mexican law enforcement agencies, emergency communications centers and police academies (here in after referred as Mexican agencies) according to standards that meet international standards. Participating Mexican law enforcement agencies are evaluated with regard to major law enforcement areas such as: 1) Roles, responsibilities and relationships with other agencies; 2) Organization, management and administration; 3) Personnel Administration; 4) Law Enforcement operations, operation support and traffic law enforcement; 5) Detainee and court-related services; and 6) Auxiliary and technical services. The accreditation process provides a structured mechanism for Mexican law enforcement agencies to improve their management practices and the delivery of law enforcement services to their communities.
