MCCD 911 Earns National Accreditation

The Mobile County Communications District (MCCD 911) recently earned national accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) recognizing a commitment to nationally accepted best practices and professional excellence in emergency communications. CALEA accreditation is a voluntary multiyear process that requires agencies to meet rigorous standards governing policies, procedures, training, operations and accountability. MCCD 911 said the designation affirms that Mobile County’s 911 system meets benchmarks used by leading public safety agencies across the country and that it is the only county in Alabama with both nationally accredited emergency communications and emergency management agencies. The accreditation process included a comprehensive self-assessment, detailed policy review and independent evaluation by trained public safety assessors. The standards emphasize clear authority, consistent performance, risk reduction and continuous improvement.
