ORLANDO, Jan. 24, 2022 -- A team of assessors from the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation (CFA) will examine all aspects of the University of Central Florida Police Department policies and procedures, management, operations and support services starting March 8, 2022. 

UCFPD must comply with approximately 250 standards related to life, health and safety issues in order to receive accredited status. A copy of the standards manual is available at www.flaccreditation.org under the standards tab.

Agency members and the general public are invited to offer comments to the assessment team. For more information or to offer comments about UCFPD’s ability to meet the standards of accreditation, please write to CFA, P.O. Box 1489, Tallahassee, FL 32302, or email flaccreditation@fdle.state.fl.us.

The CFA Accreditation Program Manager assigned to UCFPD for this cycle is Jen Renner. The assessment team is composed of law enforcement practitioners from similar agencies from around Florida. 

Once assessors complete their review of the agency, they report back to the full commission, which will then determine if the agency is to receive accredited status.  Verification by the team that UCFPD meets the commission’s standards is part of a voluntary process to gain or maintain accreditation, which is valid for three years.

UCFPD was first accredited in 2013.
