ACA's Online Credential Verification System provides information
regarding the current credential status of all Certified Corrections
Professionals (CCPs). This online verification system serves as a
primary source to verify credentials issued by the American Correctional
Association's Correctional Certification Program. It is the
responsibility of the user to confirm the correct identity of the
individual whose credentials are being verified on this online system
and to avoid confusion between two individuals with similar names. For
cases in which an individual is using a credential that cannot be
verified, and is thus engaged in the 'misuse' of a CCP credential, the
user should e-mail ACA at
certification@aca.org
