Law Enforcement Accreditation and Recognition
In March 2013 the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy granted accreditation to the ISA 50 & 70+ Hour, Dignitary and Executive Protection Specialist Courses, approving them for law enforcement in-service training credits. This was followed in April by the Maryland Police Training Commission.
In 2014 ISA made vast strides in the accreditation of its training programs for law enforcement by receiving the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Councils approval on January 3, 2014, followed by the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice in December 2014.
