PRESS RELEASE
During August 23-25, 2016, assessors from the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation, Inc. (C.F.A.) performed an on-site accreditation assessment of the Eustis Police Department. There are 261 C.F.A. Accreditation Standards, and of those, 159 are mandatory and 102 are non-mandatory. For accreditation, the Police Department had to comply with all applicable mandatory standards and at least 80% of applicable non-mandatory standards. Accreditation standards cover all aspects of police operations, to include property and evidence, communications, written directives and policies, training, the patrol function, traffic operations, and recruiting and selection.
At the completion of the on-site assessment, the Police Department complied with 132 mandatory standards, with 27 mandatory standards deemed “not applicable”. Additionally, the Police Department complied with 82 non-mandatory standards, with 20 non-mandatory standards deemed “not applicable” and 3 non-mandatory standards elected as a 20% exemption.
On Wednesday, October 26, 2016 at the State Accreditation Conference held in Weston FL, and based upon the recommendations of the on-site C.F.A. assessors, the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation unanimously approved the Eustis Police Department for State Accreditation.
The members of the Eustis Police Department would like to thank all the citizens and merchants for the support shown during our accreditation process.
