Speak Up About the Sheriffs Office

As the enforcer of law, police departments and sheriff’s offices have always been targets of strong feelings – sometimes pro and sometimes con. I ran across a very interesting article about the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office written by Coulter Kirkpatrick of Jacksonville.com. The article, Got Something to Say About the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office? explains how the county law enforcement has applied to get an accreditation status for their law enforcement division. Nassau County’s correction facility has been accredited but not the police department.

Now, everytime we write about either the Fernandina Beach Police Department or the Nassau County Sheriff’s Department, some rather strong comments come in from our readers, viewers and subscribers.

Well, according to Mr. Kirkpatrick’s article, the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation, Inc. is eager to hear from you about “the Sheriff’s Office and its ability to meet the standards of accreditation” as they assess policies, procedures and practices used by the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office.

This could be your opportunity to help the Nassau County Sheriff’s Department gain their Accreditation.
