The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office was awarded reaccreditation by the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation for the sixth time. Accreditation demonstrates the Agency’s commitment to providing law enforcement services at the highest professional standards.
The Agency received its initial CFLEA accreditation on February 9, 2005. It has been reaccredited in 2008, 2011, 2015, 2018, and 2021, before receiving its most recent reaccreditation on October 3, 2024. Accredited law enforcement agencies are required to be assessed and reaccredited every three years.
After a comprehensive onsite review in August, the CFLEA’s assessment team found that FCSO was 100% compliant with 216 mandatory and optional standards and unanimously recommended FCSO’s reaccreditation to the CFLEA Board of Commissioners.
FCSO is among 204 accredited law enforcement agencies in the State of Florida, including 44 of the state’s 67 sheriff’s offices.
“At the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, our mission is to support a safe community through distinguished service. Receiving reaccreditation from the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation is confirmation that we are in line with this mission and are committed to serving our community with the highest standards in law enforcement,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “As Sheriff, it was my honor to accept this award on behalf of the dedicated men and women who serve and protect our community at the highest standard.”
Sheriff Staly previously served on the Commission’s Board of Commissioners for six years including one year as the Commission Chair.
The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office is a five-diamond accredited agency. In addition to its law enforcement accreditation, the Agency also maintains accreditation from the Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission, the Florida Telecommunications Accreditation Commission, the National Institute of Ethics, and the National Commission on Correctional Health Care.
