Forsyth County Sheriff's Office: Agency's Standards 'Above the Mark'

The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, which has been re-certified by the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police, met or exceeded state law enforcement standards this year, according to an agency press release.

The association's Georgia Law Enforcement Certification Program requires law enforcement agencies meet certain standards "felt to be essential to the efficient and effective operation of law enforcement agencies," according to its website.

The standards incorporate contemporary professional thought and practices in the state, and will insure the goal of increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of Georgia law enforcement agencies, the website says. 

Re-certified in May, FCSO not only met the standards but "continues to provide standards above the mark in law enforcement," according to the release. An on-site assessment team reviewed the agency's operations, ranging from records kept in files to equipment police officers use, to verify it qualified for re-certification. 

FCSO officials say in the release they're "proud to be a part of this very important certification."
