Accreditation

The Arkansas Parole Board is proud to be one of four Parole Boards nationally to be accreditated by the American Correctional Association (ACA). This recognition is a direct result of the high level of professionalism with which we approach our duties.

2005 Audit Report

From the ACA website:
One of the American Correctional Association's greatest strengths has been the development of national standards and implementation of the accreditation process. Through accreditation, an agency is able to maintain a balance between protecting the public, and providing an environment that safeguards the life, health and safety of staff and offenders. Standards set by ACA reflect practical up-to-date policies and procedures, and function as a management tool for more than 1,500 correctional agencies in the United States.
