Woods' written report - required under CALEA?

The McHenry County Sheriff's Department is spending thousands of dollars working up a sweat to get in condition for CALEA certification, or so they say.

An article published today on http://mcsdexposed.blogspot.com/2010/05/report-or-no-report.html suggests that, under CALEA, Deputy Woods would be required to submit a written report about the incident in which he suffered a shooting injury at the sheriff's department shooting range. From that blog, "BUT, CALEA standards require that all "Injured On Duty" reports be written and submitted by the injured party if possible, as soon as possible."

If the article is correct (and why wouldn't it be?), then where's the report?

"Oh, but MCSD is not certified yet by CALEA," you say? And that's a reason that MCSD hasn't begun acting as if it is certified?

When CALEA comes in to examine MCSD, will it ask why Woods didn't submit a written report for his "Injured On Duty" status?

I wonder what CALEA would have to say about the reports written by the deputies and the corrections officers, especially the two reports with the 71 consecutive identical words.

Sheriff Nygren said Woods' injury was like "road rash".
Woods says it was like "chicken pox."

If he has 67 little slivers and gauze controlled the bleeding, why was Flight for Life on stand-by? Did range personnel call Flight for Life, or was the call to Flight for Life from Woodstock Fire/Rescue personnel before or after they arrived?

Since Woods got permission to talk to the reporters from the Northwest Herald and the Daily Herald (did he ask, or was he told to talk to them?), I wonder what would happen if I called and requested an interview with Deputy Woods. Without a "minder" present.
