With fewer than 100 agencies holding this accreditation, this notable achievement reflects DPS\u2019s dedication to maintaining the highest safety standards.<\/p>\n<p>IACLEA accreditation involves a five-step process that evaluates campus public safety agencies against internationally recognized best practices. To earn reaccreditation, DPS went through a comprehensive review of policies, procedures, and operations, ensuring they met all 227 IACLEA standards. Independent assessors also conducted an on-site evaluation and reviewed feedback from the University of Rochester community.<\/p>\n<p>This reaccreditation demonstrates DPS\u2019s ongoing efforts to foster a safe and welcoming environment for learning, research, healthcare, and campus life throughout the University and Medical Center. It reflects the department\u2019s commitment to continuous improvement and its alignment with the University\u2019s values of integrity, respect, and accountability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis reaccreditation represents a significant milestone in ensuring DPS keeps pace with our community\u2019s evolving safety needs,\u201d said Associate Vice President and Chief Public Safety Officer Quchee Collins. \u201cI am proud of and grateful for the hard work of all DPS members who protect and support our students, faculty, staff, patients and visitors through transparency, collaboration, and professionalism.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15412\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15412\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15412\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/public-safety\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/250619_IACLEA_AccAwards-0071.jpg\" alt=\"A group photo from the 2025 IACLEA Annual Conference and Exposition awards ceremony.  \" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/public-safety\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/250619_IACLEA_AccAwards-0071.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/public-safety\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/250619_IACLEA_AccAwards-0071-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/public-safety\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/250619_IACLEA_AccAwards-0071-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/public-safety\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/250619_IACLEA_AccAwards-0071-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/public-safety\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/250619_IACLEA_AccAwards-0071-660x440.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15412\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Associate Vice President and Chief Quchee Collins (center) at the 2025 IACLEA Annual Conference and Exposition awards ceremony in Atlanta, Georgia (Credit: Mike Ritter)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>DPS first earned IACLEA accreditation in 2020.
