City's Office of the Inspector General Earns Prestigious Accreditation
June 28, 2022
The City of Tallahassee Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has earned accreditation through the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation (CFA). Being an accredited agency demonstrates the work of the OIG's investigative function meets or exceeds the highest professional standards established for Offices of Inspectors General.
The OIG had to achieve compliance with numerous standards to receive accredited status. In March 2022, a CFA assessment team reviewed 40 individual standards during an on-site review and found the OIG to be in compliance with all the standards, with no corrective actions needed. The full CFA voted unanimously on June 16 to award a certificate of accreditation, which remains in effect for three years.
This is the first time the OIG sought accreditation, and it is the only non-consolidated municipal Office of the Inspector General in Florida to receive the designation.
The City Commission established the OIG on July 8, 2020. The OIG provides a full-time program of audits, investigations, inspections and reviews of City operations. These efforts further improve efficiencies within programs and operations administered or financed by the City.
"Earning this accreditation recognizes the professional excellence required within my office as we work to uphold the trust placed in us as stewards of public resources," City of Tallahassee Inspector General Dennis Sutton said.
