Okaloosa County SO and the Okaloosa County Jail ARE NOT accreditated.



Okaloosa Sheriff Office is not accreditated and according to ranking administration contacts there are no plans for it. Too much accountability?
As for the jails accreditation that is correct. But, the jail has absolutely no affiliation with the Sheriff Office.
The holding cells in Shalimar are run by the Okaloosa County Sheriff, not the jail. Booking in Shalimar like the Sheriff Office holds no accreditation.

I saw on their website where they had updated their policy manual in order to meet accreditation standards and wrongly assumed this meant something. I think they were accredited when Larry Gilbert was Sherif, but I could be wrong. You would think they would be seeing how active Morris is in the Sherif's Association ( President elect I think)
