An accreditation program has long been recognized as a means
of maintaining the highest standards of professionalism.
Accreditation is the certification by an independent reviewing
authority that an entity has met specific requirements and
prescribed standards. Schools, universities, and hospitals are
some of the most well-known organizations that are required to
maintain accreditation. Florida law enforcement agencies and
Inspectors General in Florida can attain accredited status
through the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement
Accreditation, Inc. (CFA). The Commission is comprised of 15
volunteer members, one of which is a representative appointed
by the Office of the Chief Inspector General. The Commission meets three times per year to oversee the accreditation program and to officially accredit, or reaccredit, agencies that have passed the rigorous review process. The agency applying for (re)accreditation must notify the public at least 30 days prior to a CFA accreditation assessment. The notification may be through media or posted on the agency's public website. For Inspector General Accreditation information please
see the
Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation.
