Through the accreditation process, the St. Augustine Beach Police Department is held to the highest standards of professional policing.
To achieve and maintain an accredited status, the department’s facilities, operations, and policies are thoroughly reviewed by independent assessors. This process ensures the SABPD operates with maximum professionalism, effectiveness, and efficiency.
The SABPD first earned Florida accreditation from the Commission for Law Enforcement Accreditation (CFA) in 2015. The department has since been successfully reaccredited three times: in 2018, 2021, and most recently in 2024.
Each of these reaccreditations was achieved with 100% compliance, demonstrating the SABPD’s ongoing dedication to serving the community at the absolute best level of law enforcement.
