BREVARD COUNTY • PALM BAY, FLORIDA – The Palm Bay Police Department was officially reaccredited and awarded the prestigious Excelsior status by the Commission of Law Enforcement Accreditation Board on Thursday.

The Excelsior status is the highest level of achievement a police agency can receive.

“This is the first time our agency has received this status by successfully completing its reaccreditation with no corrective actions or compliance issues,” said Chief of Police Mariano Augello.

“As a matter of fact, the team of assessors that visited our agency stated we were exemplary and flawless! The Excelsior status is achieved when an agency successfully attains reaccreditation for five successful three-year cycles.”

The department obtained its first accreditation status in 2007.

“An accreditation program has long been recognized as a means of maintaining the highest standards of professionalism,” said Chief Augello.

“The assessment process is an intensive formal review of our agency’s policies, procedures and practices. Attaining accredited status demonstrates to our community that our agency is committed to maintaining the highest standards of professional law enforcement service. We thank Accreditation Specialist Alyssa Snedeker for all her hard work and preparation she provided during this process.”
