Also: CareerSource announces plan to help hiring
Cpl. Brent Hodge, of the Ormond Beach Police Department, received the Commendation Award from Police Chief Henry Osterkamp at a recent City Commission meeting. The award was to recognize Hodge for his work in the past two years, making sure the department’s policies, procedures, management, operations and support services adhered to a total of 273 separate standards.
These standards are used by the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation, which awarded the department reaccreditation on June 25.
“Cpl. Hodge was instrumental in our department getting reaccredited,” Osterkamp said. “He did an outstanding job. Without his dedicated work, reaccreditation would not have been as easy.”
Osterkamp also said all members of the department deserved credit for their work in getting the reaccreditation.
City Manager Joyce Shanahan pointed out that the accreditation commission reported that all standards were met in the review and no flaws were found.
