The team will verify that the Sheriff’s Office meets the commission’s state of the art standards in order to gain accreditation.

Accreditation is for four years, and the agency must submit annual reports, and take part in annual web-based assessments that proves it’s continuing to comply with the 180 standards in order to gain and maintain accreditation.
