The Crestview Police Department says they plan to withdraw from the reaccreditation process. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement accredits law enforcement policies, procedures, operational standards, staffing, equipment and related standards every three years and the department achieved accreditation for the first time in October 2016. Crestview Police Department officials said the change in the city’s form of government from a weak-mayor system to a council-manager system led to the agency dropping its reaccreditation efforts until new policies can be written to conform to the new form of government.
