Pamela McKay is stepping down as president of the Chesapeake Region Law Enforcement Accreditation Alliance.
McKay, the civilian administrator for the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office, also has represented the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office and Southern Maryland as president of CRLEAA for the past eight years.
As of Jan. 1, 2017, she transitioned the presidency of CRLEAA to Greg Solomon of the American University Police Department.
“During her tenure, Ms. McKay not only brought recognition to Southern Maryland law enforcement, but she also provided assistance to agencies throughout the region in obtaining and maintaining their accreditation status through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies,” St. Mary’s County Sheriff Tim Cameron said. “Her wealth of knowledge and experience with accreditation has served not only the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office well, but all agencies belonging to the Chesapeake Region Law Enforcement Accreditation Alliance.”
On her role as president of CRLEAA, Ms. McKay commented, “Accreditation is something that I have a passion for, and through this organization I have created mutually beneficial professional relationships. Most of all, I am proud of the work we did as a team. One of the initiatives I am most proud of is working together to ensure that all member agencies will continue to have access to more frequent, relevant, and affordable training.”
Fellow CRLEAA peer Tamera Bulla commented on Ms. McKay’s legacy of service.“For well over a decade, Pam has been a respected leader and ‘go to’ resource for law enforcement professionals in both CRLEAA and MAPP. Her detailed knowledge on policy and Accreditation matters has helped agencies in Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, and DC. But perhaps even more important is the level of personal mentoring, encouragement and inspiration she has provided us all,” Ms. Bulla said.
The CRLEAA serves Maryland, Delaware, and Washington, DC, agencies. CRLEAA is a not-for-profit organization formed in the 1980s as a network of law enforcement professionals supporting accreditation through effective communication, cooperation, and shared resources. CRLEAA recognizes and supports the concept of accreditation for law enforcement agencies as a means of enhancing the quality of law enforcement services within the region.
