Accreditation creates a system for maintaining a high level of professionalism.
In 1997, the Orlando Police Department became an accredited police agency as certified by the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation. To accomplish this task, the agency showed compliance with hundreds of standards established by the Commission. These standards ensure agencies provide quality service to the community, as well as reduce liability for the agency and its members . In 2000, we successfully completed our first reaccredidation. Once again, outside agencies were invited to review and inspect the procedures and workings of the police department.
