The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Rick Ramsay is pleased to announce the Sheriff’s Office Bureau of Corrections recently received its reaccreditation through the American Correctional Association.
Achieving ACA status is part of the voluntary process to maintain accreditation — a highly respected recognition of professional law enforcement excellence — the standards of which are those pertaining to all issues pertaining to the Sheriff’s Office Bureau of Corrections and the administration of jail facilities.
“Maintaining this accreditation status is a testament to the men and women of this agency who are committed to this community,” said Sheriff Rick Ramsay. “Achieving this standard remains part of my law enforcement philosophy in providing residents with the best and most transparent service possible.”
Part of the accreditation process includes welcoming accreditation commission assessment teams into Sheriff’s Office facilities. The assessors —composed of law enforcement practitioners from similar agencies — review written materials, interview individuals, and visit offices and other areas where compliance can be observed.
