Meeting for the first time in January 1995, the <br />Commission will oversee a Florida -based law enforcement accreditation <br />program. <br />This program is designed to enable all Florida law enforcement agencies to <br />participate in complying with uniform standards that are workable, practical, <br />easily understood, and are specific to Florida. Moreover, the standards will <br />be compatible with national accreditation standards. <br />The benefits of becoming accredited are many, both to the agency and the <br />community served. The agency benefits by reducing its risk for lawsuits in <br />the area of operational negligence. In the accreditation process all operating <br />procedures are closely examined and must meet very demanding standards. <br />Additionally, an agency must be able to demonstrate professionalism in all <br />aspects of operations to include, but not be limited to, selection, training-, <br />budgeting, investigations, crime prevention programming, etc. <br />The community benefits by the knowledge and awareness that the law <br />enforcement agency serving them, has met the highest standards of <br />professionalism available. An effective partnership is formed between the <br />agency and the community based upon confidence and respect for the level of <br />service available. A sense of pride is gained by the citizens and the members <br />of the agency knowing that their agency is recognized for professional <br />excellence. <br />Courthouse <br />101 E.
