In order to be reaccredited, a team of assessors from the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation will arrive to Ormond Beach on March 7 to review the Ormond Beach Police Department's policies and procedures, management, operations and support services.

According to a press release by OBPD, the standards the law enforcement agency must comply with are "critical to life, health, safety issues and best practices."

“Verification by the assessment team that our department meets the Commission’s standards is part of a voluntary process to maintain accreditation," Police Chief Jesse Godfrey said in the press release. "Being accredited is a highly sought-after component of professional excellence."

As part of the assessment, agency members and the public are invited to offer comments to the assessment team. Visit the CFA website at www.flaccreditation.org to view a copy of the standards manual. 

Comments may be emailed to [email protected] or sent via mail to CFA, P.O. Box 1489, Tallahassee, FL 32302.

Once the agency's review is completed, the assessors will report to CFA, which will then determine if the agency can be accredited or reaccredited. OBPD's accreditation is valid for three years.
