ACCREDITATION The Office of Accreditation is responsible for maintaining the Sheriff’s Office’s accreditation through CALEA (Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agenices). The Sheriff’s Office received initial accreditation in 2003, and was awarded re-accreditation in 2006, 2009, 2012, 2015, and most recently in March 2018. The purpose of accreditation is to safeguard all personnel, mprove management, provide systematic evaluation of all areas of operation, recognize achievement, and demonstrate accountability to the public. Accreditation is an ongoing program to maintain superior professional standards, and is overseen by a dedicated accreditation manager. In 2015 and in the most recent re-accreditation, CALEA awarded the Sheriff’s Office the Gold Standard of Excellence. This award is reserved for agencies which have gone through multiple re-accreditations, and have not had any compliance issues in the most recent assessment. The Gold Standard assessment focuses on processes and outcomes associated with standards specific to agency policies. It works to measure the impact of accreditation as opposed to simply confirming compliance through a file-by-file review. Assessors spend more time working with and reviewing law enforcement officers in the field, and less time reviewing files. The Sheriff’s Office will now undergo re-accreditation every four years, with the next on-site re-accreditation scheduled for 2021. The accreditation manager will submit files electronically every year to stay current with accreditation. The Blount County Sheriff’s Office is just one of five sheriff’s offices in Tennessee to be accredited through CALEA. In Blount County, Maryville and Alcoa police departments, as well as Blount County 911, are also accredited through CALEA. The Sheriff’s Office is also accredited through the Tennessee Association of Chiefs of Police. In February 2018, the Sheriff’s Office proudly accepted its third re-accreditation award. The BCSO was the first Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee to receive state accreditation in 2012. The Tennessee Law Enforcement Accreditation Program exists to improve the quality of law enforcement agencies in Tennessee and the quality of services provided to the citizens of the state.
