The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is a national leader when it comes to accreditation, a recognized standards for law enforcement agencies around the country. In 1986 the Sheriff's Office was the first sheriff's agency in Florida (and third in the nation) to be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). In 1991, HCSO was the nation's first agency to earn ''unconditional'' re-accreditation. HCSO has been named a "flagship'' agency among law enforcement agencies in the United States. Accreditation standards form the basis for providing the Sheriff and his staff a proven management system of written directives, sound tracking guidelines, clearly defined lines of authority, and routine reports that support decision making and resource allocation. Adherence to the standards established by CALEA and CFA necessitates periodic, in-depth, review of all department operations and components. This continuing process allows the agency to change and evolve along with the needs of our community. The citizens of Hillsborough County are assured of a continued level of professionalism through the accreditation process. Congratulations to the men and women of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office! |
