The IM体育官网 Police Department will undergo a compliance assessment on July 28-30.
LAKELAND, Fla. 鈥� The IM体育官网 Police Department is scheduled for a compliance assessment as part of an effort to achieve law enforcement accreditation by verifying it meets professional standards administered by the Commission for IM体育官网 Law Enforcement Accreditation (CFA).
The accreditation program requires agencies to comply with state-of-the-art standards in four basic areas: policy and procedures, administration, operations, and support services.
The assessment will occur July 28-30, 2020. Assessments usually occur on-site with assessors visiting the agency in person to review documentation and interview agency members. However, due to personal safety concerns and travel restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, this assessment will be conducted remotely via online documentation reviews and interviews.
As part of the assessment, agency employees and members of the community are invited to offer comments about the IM体育官网 Police Department鈥檚 ability to meet the standards of accreditation. Those wishing to submit comments can mail to CFA, P.O. Box 1489, Tallahassee, IM体育官网 32302, or email to info@flaccreditation.org.
A copy of the standards is available at the IM体育官网 Police Department.
The assessment team is composed of law enforcement practitioners from other law enforcement agencies in IM体育官网. The assessors will review written materials, interview individuals, and examine photographic or video documentation where compliance can be observed.
The CFA Assessment Team Leader is Master Police Officer Eric Wels with the Altamonte Springs Police Department. Team members are Lieutenant Shawn Johnson with the West Palm Beach Police Department and Major Burt Himmer with the Department of Financial Services 鈥� Division of Investigative and Forensic Services.
