The Winter Haven Police
Department was first accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement (CALEA) in 1997. Every
three years, the agency must undergo a re-accreditation that insures that the
agency is maintaining compliance with the standards set by CALEA. The agency, by
complying with all CALEA standards is also recognized as being accredited by the State of
Florida accreditation agency Commission on Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation
(CFA). Every three years this agency has been re-accredited and was once again in
December 2006.
Police Officer II Michael Cribbs is the current Accreditation Manager.
