Review of the Performance of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's Professionalism Program

Report 97-42, February 1998




Report Summary

  • The Professionalism Program has gained some efficiency in performing audits of criminal justice agencies and training schools and has improved the passing rate of its professional certification examination.
  • Additional conclusions about Program performance cannot yet be made because the 1996-97 measures do not sufficiently address the impact of Program activities.
  • Changes to the Program's measures and standards have enhanced their usefulness. However, some additional modifications are needed to provide the Legislature with more meaningful information.
