Developing Accreditation Professionals

The success of the accreditation process depends upon the knowledge, skills, and preparation of the individuals leading it. KLEAP provides comprehensive training and professional development opportunities designed to support Accreditation Managers, Assessment Team members, agency leaders, and participating personnel throughout every stage of the accreditation journey. Through self-paced instruction, practical resources, and continued learning opportunities, KLEAP helps agencies build the knowledge and confidence needed to achieve accreditation success.

KLEAP Foundations Academy

The KLEAP Foundations Academy is designed to provide agency leaders, Accreditation Managers, and accreditation team members with the knowledge needed to successfully navigate the accreditation process. These self-paced training modules introduce participants to the history, structure, standards, and requirements of the Kansas Law Enforcement Accreditation Program while providing practical guidance for managing accreditation efforts within their agency.

Learners may complete the training at their own pace and revisit individual modules whenever additional guidance is needed. Participants who successfully complete all training modules may request a training certificate from the KLEAP Program Director.
