Public invited to comment on law enforcement accreditation

Sheriff James L. Manfre has announced to Historic City News that the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation will arrive Tuesday, July 28th to examine all aspects of the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office policies and procedures, management, operations, and support services.

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office has to comply with approximately 260 standards in order to receive accredited status. Many of the standards are critical to life, health and safety issues. A copy of the standards is available through the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer. The Accreditation Manager for the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office is Sergeant Adam Biss.

As part of the on-site assessment, agency members and the general public are invited to offer comments to the assessment team. Call 386-586-5805 for more information, e-mail info@flaccreditation.org or, mail written comments to CFA, P.O. Box 1489, Tallahassee, FL 32302

The assessors will review the written materials; interview individuals and visit officers and other places where compliance can be witnessed.

Once the Commission’s assessors complete their review of the agency, they report back to the full Commission, which will then decide if the agency is to receive accredited status.

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office accreditation is for 3 years.
