PUBLIC NOTICE: ACCREDITATION 2024 – INITIAL ASSESSMENT
February 21, 2024
On March 26 – 28, 2024, a team of assessors from the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation (CFA) will examine all aspects of the Levy County Sheriff’s Office’s policies, procedures, management, operations, support services and observe areas for compliance. The agency has to comply with numerous standards in order to receive accreditation. Many of the standards are critical to life, health, and safety issues.
As part of the assessment, agency members and the public are invited to offer comments to the assessment team. A copy of the standards manual is available at www.flaaccreditation.org. For more information regarding CFA or for persons wishing to offer written comments about the Levy County Sheriff’s Office’s ability to meet the standards of accreditation please email [email protected] or write to:

The assessment team is composed of law enforcement practitioners from similar agencies who will review written materials, conduct interviews and attend tours where compliance can be witnessed. Once the Commission’s assessors complete their review of the agency, they will report to the full Commission, which will then decide if the agency meets accredited status. Levy County Sheriff’s Office accreditation is valid for three years. Verification by the team that Levy County Sheriff’s Office meets the Commission’s standards is part of a voluntary process to gain accreditation.
Levy County Sheriff Bobby McCallum and his staff welcome the assessment team and looks forward to a successful accreditation process and receiving the highly prized recognition of professional excellence.
