TREASURE ISLAND, Fla. – The Treasure Island Police Department (TIPD) is set to maintain its accredited status with Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation, Inc., demonstrating its ongoing commitment to upholding the highest professional standards.
TIPD first received accreditation in 2021 after a rigorous process. To maintain this status, the department undergoes reaccreditation every three years, which involves a comprehensive self-assessment and on-site evaluation by the Commission for Florida Accreditation (CFA). TIPD recently completed its on-site assessment and is now recommended for reaccreditation.

Accreditation standards encompass various aspects of law enforcement operations, including relationships with other agencies, organization, management, law enforcement operations, detainee services, and technical services.
Adding a touch of fun to the process, TIPD expressed its gratitude to the Tampa Bay Rays for sending DJ Kitty to participate in the on-site assessment.
