Calvin L. Adams Jr., division director. The division must comply with approximately 259 standards to receive reaccreditation status. If the CFA determines the Division of Law Enforcement has complied with the appropriate standards, the reaccreditation will be awarded for three years. “Accreditation is a voluntary process that holds an agency to a higher level of accountability by an external source. Accreditation managers are a valuable resource for agency growth and improvement as they review and monitor facilities, policies and practices,” said Juli Brown, the Division of Law Enforcement’s accreditation manager. The general public, including members of the FWC, are invited to offer comments related to the agency’s ability to comply with CFA standards. Comments must be submitted in writing to CFA, Attention: Public Comment, P.O. Box 1489, Tallahassee, FL 32302, or may be submitted by email at info@flaccreditation.org. A copy of the accreditation standards is available by visiting the CFA website or by contacting Katie Purcell, public information coordinator for the Division of Law Enforcement, at850-617-9521 or by email at Katie.Purcell@MyFWC.com.
