A team of assessors from the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation (CFA) will arrive on July 19, 2022, to examine all aspects of the Santa Rosa Sheriff’s Office’s policies and procedures, management, operations, and support services.
The Santa Rosa Sheriff’s Office must comply with numerous standards to receive accredited status. Many of the standards are critical to life, health, safety issues, and best practices.
As part of the assessment, agency members and the public are invited to offer comments to the assessment team. A copy of the standards manual is available on the CFA website at www.flaccreditation.org under the standards tab.
For more information regarding CFA or for persons wishing to offer written comments about the Santa Rosa Sheriff’s Office’s ability to meet the standards of accreditation, please send correspondence to: CFA, P.O. Box 1489, Tallahassee, Florida, 32302, or email to [email protected].
The accreditation program manager for Santa Rosa Sheriff’s Office is Captain Wayne Enterkin. The assessment team is composed of assessors from similar agencies. The assessors will review written materials, interview individuals, and visit offices and other areas where compliance can be observed.
Once the Commission’s assessors complete their review of the agency, they report to the full Commission, which then determines if the agency is to receive reaccredited status. Santa Rosa Sheriff’s Office’s accreditation is valid for three years. Verification by the team that the Santa Rosa Sheriff’s Office meets the Commission’s standards is part of a voluntary process to gain or maintain accreditation–a highly prized recognition of professional excellence.
