Gilbert, AZ — The Gilbert Police Department has received reaccreditation through the Arizona Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ALEAP), and its 911 Communications Center has earned the Emergency Communications Center (ECC) Accreditation. 

Gilbert PD first earned its ALEAP accreditation in 2022, following a comprehensive two-year self‑assessment and on‑site review. Reaccreditation reflects the department’s continued compliance with ALEAP’s 175 best-practice standards and its commitment to maintaining high standards across all areas of operation. 

Gilbert PD’s 911 Communications Center completed its initial accreditation process through a detailed self‑assessment followed by an independent review evaluating its policies, performance, and day‑to‑day operations. 

“Maintaining accreditation demonstrates our ongoing commitment to nationally recognized standards and best practices,” said Interim Chief Jim Bisceglie. “Our Communications Center earning accreditation for the first time is a significant achievement. Dispatchers are the first point of contact in any emergency, and this recognition reflects their professionalism, dedication, and the critical role they play in ensuring effective and coordinated response when our community expects it the most.” 

ALEAP accreditation is valid for a four‑year period, during which agencies must submit annual reports demonstrating ongoing compliance. For first‑time accreditation, Emergency Communications Centers must meet all applicable standards before recognition is awarded. 

Why Accreditation Matters 

Accreditation provides an added layer of independent oversight and gives the Gilbert community confidence that the department consistently meets rigorous and professional standards.
