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 ACA the American Correctional Association's Corrections 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.
