crane honored

Sheriff’s Office Bureau of Corrections Capt. Jon Crane has been selected by the Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission as its 2019 Accreditation Manager of the Year.

“I am extremely proud of Capt. Jon Crane as he deserves this honor,” said Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay, citing Crane’s “daily dedication to maintaining our accreditation status.”

Crane started working for the sheriff’s office in 1998. In the community, he is an active participant in Leadership Monroe and his annual bicycle drive during the holidays provides hundreds of bicycles to children and others in need.

The Bureau of Corrections holds professional accreditation on a state and national level. The detention facilities in the Keys — Plantation Key, Marathon and Key West — have an average daily population of about 560. The sheriff’s office employs some 136 certified detention deputies.

The sheriff’s office is accredited by five agencies and is a Triple Crown Award winner, for its simultaneous accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of the American Correctional Association, The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement and the National Commission on Correctional Health Care.
