On Thursday, October 7, 2021, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) received its 6th law enforcement re-accreditation from the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation (CFLEA). After review by CFLEA onsite assessors in August 2021, which examined proofs of compliance on 239 mandatory and optional standards, inspections, and interviews to verify FCSO has complied with CFLEA standards, the onsite team unanimously recommended FCSO’s re-accreditation to CFLEA Commissioners.
The FCSO received its initial accreditation by the CFLEA in February 2005. Accreditation demonstrates the agency’s commitment to providing law enforcement services at the highest standards of professional law enforcement services. This is the second reaccreditation award received by the FCSO in two days. On October 6, 2021, FCSO’s Detention Facility received re-accreditation.
“As Sheriff of Flagler County, it’s my duty to ensure that we provide law enforcement services at the highest professional levels in our profession,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “Receiving re-accreditation is confirmation that we are delivering the most professional law enforcement practices to the citizens of our community. It was my honor to accept this award on behalf of the dedicated men and women serving our agency and community that made this recognition possible.”
The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office is a 4-Diamond agency. The FCSO holds accreditation from the Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission, the Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission, the Florida Tele-Communicators Accreditation Commission, and the National Institute of Ethics. Sheriff Staly serves as the Vice-Chair on the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation.
