A team of assessors from the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation (CFA) will arrive on August 20, 2024, to review all aspects of the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office policies and procedures, management, operations, and support services. The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office must comply with approximately 240 standards to receive re-accreditation and maintain its law enforcement accreditation. Many of the standards are critical to life, health, safety issues, and best practices.
As part of the on-site assessment, agency members and the general public are invited to offer comments to the assessment team. Citizens may review standards at www.flaccreditation.org
Once the Commission’s assessors complete their review of the agency, they report back to the full Commission, which then determines if the agency is to receive re-accreditation. The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office accreditation is for 3 years.
“Verification by the accreditation team that the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office meets and has maintained the Commission’s standards is part of a voluntary process to maintain accreditation, a highly prized recognition of law enforcement professional excellence,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “We welcome and encourage the public’s comments and participation in this process.”
For more information regarding CFA, or for persons wishing to offer written comments about the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office’s ability to meet the Standards of Accreditation, please write to CFA, P.O. Box 1489, Tallahassee, Florida 32302, or email to flaccreditation@fdle.state.fl.
