 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. Now,
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.
