Broward Sheriff’s Office loses its accreditation

[SteyrAUG]

The whole system is broken in Broward County at nearly all levels.
Remember, the School System was key in covering up some of the perps escapades so as not to make their record look bad.
How many times were people out to that house to interview this guy because of some very questionable behavior?
Then there is the Teacher who looked the other way when this guy came on campus and even failed to report his presence while he was carrying that gun in a case.
That's likely the last place I would want to live in and or raise kids in. The only people who are safe are the Cops, the Politicians and the School Board.

And here is the real scary part, Broward County is a dreamland place to live compared to Dade.

Too bad this LEO was not the RSO at Stoneman Douglas.

Accreditation is highly overrated. The term 'paper tiger' comes to mind with some agencies I know of.

It's a resume feather for brass. That's it. I've seen an equal number of crap "accredited" agencies and good non-accredited agencies.

A lot of things are overrated, but public perception is another matter other than the small % of people who get it has minimal relevance, it looks very bad. What it is is a public vote of no confidence by fellow LE and it's effective perception wise.

Doesn't accreditation have more to do with insurance rates than anything?

"It's a resume feather for brass". I agree. I served as the Accreditation Manager for 2 Agencies and worked for a 3rd that was in the process. None of them followed their own policies except for in the files and on assessment day.


Glocktogo, it has more to do with getting grants
