The assessors will review written material, interview individuals, as well as visit offices and other areas where compliance can be observed”.
Once the assessors complete their review of the agency, they report to the Commission. The Commission will then determine if the agency is to receive accredited or reaccredited status. The accreditation for the Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office is valid for three years.
“Verification that the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office meets the Commission’s standards is part of a voluntary process to gain or maintain accreditation, which is a highly prized recognition of professional excellence.” Sheriff Jared Miller.
