The Florida Highway Patrol is scheduled for an on-site assessment as part of a program to achieve re-accreditation by verifying it meets professional standards. Administered by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA ®), the accreditation program requires agencies to comply with state-of-the art standards in four basic areas: policy and procedures, administration, operations, and support services. As part of the on-site assessment, agency employees and members of the community are invited to offer comments at this public information session. Agency employees and the public are also invited to offer comments by calling 800-335-5652 on August 18, 2016 between the hours of 10:00am and 12:00pm. Comments will be taken by the Assessment Team. Telephone comments as well as appearances at the public information session are limited to 10 minutes and must address the agency’s ability to comply with CALEA’s standards. A copy of the Standards is available at the Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles headquarters in Tallahassee. Local contact is Captain Hugh Cutchen (850) 617-2342.
