The IU Police Department has been accredited by the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators. It is the first higher education law enforcement agency in the United States to achieve accreditation as a unified organization serving multiple campuses
The department was officially honored for achieving accreditation on June 19, 2025 during the association's Annual Conference and Exposition held in Atlanta, Georgia.
The IU Police Department was accredited through the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators, which is the leading authority for campus public safety.
Achieving accreditation required an extensive process of demonstrating compliance with the association’s high standards through inspections and assessments. It also included on-site visits of IU campuses and an information session inviting the public to provide feedback.
This recognition from the leading authority for campus public safety demonstrates our department's commitment to providing the highest level of quality in our service to the IU community.
Benjamin Hunter, Associate Vice President and Superintendent for Public Safety.
The process to achieve accreditation consists of five steps. More information about the process is available on the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrator's website.
Accreditation is valid for four years. Throughout that time, the department must submit annual reports attesting to continued compliance with those standards under which it was initially accredited.
