Camp Verde Marshal proposes hiring consultant for ALEAP recertification; cost to come from vacancy savings
Summary
Town Marshal Corey Rowley told the council he plans to hire an external consultant to assist with Arizona Law Enforcement Accreditation recertification ahead of a July 2025 deadline, estimating the cost at $20,000–$25,000 to be covered by savings from a vacant Quartermaster position.
Town Marshal Corey Rowley told the council on Nov. 13 that maintaining Arizona Law Enforcement Accreditation (ALEAP), which the department achieved in 2021, requires annual documentation for recertification and that staffing shortages make completing that work internally infeasible.
Rowley said he will hire an outside resource to meet the July 2025 recertification deadline and estimated the one‑time cost at about $20,000 to $25,000. He told the council the department will cover the cost using savings from the vacant Quartermaster position and described a long‑term plan to transition the Quartermaster role into an Accreditation Specialist.
Council members questioned how the department would ensure annual documentation is completed going forward. Rowley responded to council questions but the transcript records no formal council action; the decision to use salary savings for the accreditation support was described as an administrative decision and not voted on by the council during the session.
