A team of assessors from the Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission (FCAC) will assess the Broward Sheriff’s Office Pretrial Services and Probation divisions for reaccreditation on April 1-2, 2026. The team will examine BSO’s policies and procedures, management, operations and support services. The division is required to comply with approximately 77 standards in order to receive accredited status. Many of the standards are related to organization and management, reporting, release and supervision and general safety issues. A copy of the standards is available through BSO’s Public Information Office.

The assessment team will review written materials, interview individuals and visit offices and other places where compliance can be witnessed. Once the Commission’s assessors complete their review of BSO’s Pretrial Services and Probation divisions, they report back to the full Commission, which will then decide if the agency is to receive accredited status.

For more information regarding FCAC or for persons wishing to offer written comments about BSO’s ability to meet the standards of accreditation, please write: CFA, P.O. Box 1489, Tallahassee, FL 32302, or email info@flaccreditation.org.
