St Augustine Police: In search of accreditation

To quote the band AC/DC, “It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll.”

The St Augustine Police Department has long carried the stigma that came from a lack of accreditation.  The St Johns County Sheriff’s Office has national and state accreditation which it achieved under the watch of the late sheriff, Neil J.
