The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office received its sixth law enforcement re-accreditation from the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation on Oct. 7. Sheriff Rick Staly was also recently elected by his peers to serve as the chair for the CFLEA. He has served as a commissioner since 2018. CFLEA is an independent 15-member commission established by Florida law whose members are appointed by the Florida Sheriff’s Association, Florida Police Chief’s Association, and city/county government organizations. After review by CFLEA onsite assessors in August 2021, which examined proofs of compliance on 239 mandatory and optional standards, inspections, and interviews to verify FCSO has complied with CFLEA standards, the onsite team unanimously recommended FCSO’s re-accreditation to CFLEA Commissioners. “Receiving re-accreditation is confirmation that we are delivering the most professional law enforcement practices to the citizens of our community,” Staly said. “It was my honor to accept this award on behalf of the dedicated men and women serving our agency and community that made this recognition possible.”
