FLORIDA 32961-0008 Dear Gary: I would like to request the following subject be placed on the consent agenda during the regular Commission meeting April 18, 1989 for approval of use of Law Enforcement Trust Funds. Over the past yelr our Department has been studying the feasibility of seeking national accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. This commission is comprised of top managerial personnel from the International Chiefs of Police Association, National Sheriffs Association, National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives and the Police Executive Research Forum. Upon applying for the accreditation process, a team of professionals is assigned to the Department for the purpose of reviewing present procedures, forming new policies and standardizing the entire operation. Upon completion of the process, which takes approximately two (2) years of self-assessment, the Department will realize a more efffooient operation in the areas of hiring and promotion, the reduction of high liability areas, more efficient fiscal operation and a greater overall professionalism of its entire staff. I have included.a copy of our objectives, criteria which must be met .and benefits realized by the Department, county and state government and the citizens of Indian River County. I am, therefore, requesting the approval of the use of Law Enforcement Trust Funds to commence immediately with this process. Application fee to the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies $14,500, one (1) personal computer with monitor and printer $4,000 and $5,000 miscellaneous printing and binding supplies. Our Department is in possession of a twelve (12) minute video tape concerning these procedures and their benefits and will be happy to allow the Commission to view this tape at the time of the agenda. Sincerely R. T. "Tim" Dobeck, Sheriff Indian River County 20
