Kannapolis Police Department held it's annual awards banquet on May 17, and presented two employees with the agency's most prestigious awards.
POI Norman Hill has been selected as the 2023 recipient of the Roger Dale Carter Memorial Service Award.
Hill began his career with Kannapolis Police Department in August 2017. He graduated from Basic Law Enforcement Training at Rowan Cabarrus Community College and was awarded probationary certification by the Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission on December 21, 2017. He was sworn into office and began his assignment as a patrol officer with Patrol Squad A on January 4, 2018.

CALEA Law Enforcement Accreditation Public Comment Portal
The Kannapolis Police Department participates in the CALEA Law Enforcement Accreditation process. As a part of this process, we provide an opportunity for public feedback via the CALEA Portal located here: http://cimrs2.calea.org/814. The purpose of this public portal is to receive comments regarding our compliance with CALEA standards, engagement with the community, delivery of public safety services, and overall candidacy for accredited status. These comments can be in the form of commendations or concerns. The overall intent of the accreditation process is to provide our agency with information to support continuous improvement, as well as foster our pursuit of professional excellence.
It is important to know that CALEA is not an investigatory body and subsequently the public portal should not be used to submit information for such purposes. Additionally, there will be no response other than acknowledgment to submissions; however, the information will be considered in context to its relevancy to compliance with standards and the tenets of CALEA® Accreditation. Standard titles may be viewed on the Law Enforcement - Standards Titles | CALEA® | The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. for more information on the CALEA Law Enforcement Standards. The Kannapolis Police Department is Advanced Law Enforcement Accredited (Tier 2) and complies with all applicable standards. Questions related to the accreditation process may be directed to the Accreditation Manager.
Comments posted will be routed to the Regional Program Manager at the end of each week and shared back with the agency CEO as well as filed for the Compliance Services Manager and CALEA Assessor to access and review prior to upcoming web-based and site-based assessments.
