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

Accreditation
The Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission was formed to establish a process by which jails across the state could evaluate and improve their overall performance through a formal accreditation process. And the facility obtained full accreditation in 2004 and again in 2007. The jail's medical provider also received national level accreditation through the national Commission on Correctional Health Care.
Accreditation is a long-term and continuing goal of this department requiring a lot of hard work and dedication on the part of jail staff. In the end, however, the process helps us maintain the highest level of professional service to the community, and provide a thorough review of the department's status and readiness.

booking isnt the jail

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 stand corrected.:cry::cry: 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):yikes:
