A team of assessors from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA®) will be present during the period July 13-16, 2013, to examine all aspects of the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office policy and procedures, management, operations, and support services for reaccreditation, according to Sheriff William T. “Bill” Schatzman.
The assessment team consists of the Chief Deputy Brad Slater from Cache County Sheriff’s Office in Utah and Chief of Police Wayne Isbell of the Mount Pleasant Police Department in Mount Pleasant, Texas.
Sheriff Schatzman states the assessment team is responsible for verifying that the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office meets the Commission’s state-of-the-art standards as part of the voluntary process for CALEA reaccreditation – a highly prized recognition of public safety professional excellence. Sheriff Schatzman believes the accreditation process and compliance with national and internationally recognized CALEA professional law enforcement standards will assist the agency in providing the very best possible law enforcement services to the citizens of Forsyth County.
