CALEA Costs Covered for Ohio Sheriffs’ Offices
The County Risk Sharing Authority (CORSA), of Columbus, Ohio, in conjunction with the Buckeye State Sheriffs’ Association (BSSA), recently announced a new risk management program for CORSA member sheriffs’ offices to support their efforts to establish “best practices” in all areas of law enforcement. The program includes an unprecedented financial support program.
Beginning in 2004, CORSA will pay the initial administrative and on-site assessment fees for any member sheriff’s office that pursues the CALEA Law Enforcement Accreditation™ or CALEA Recognition program, and will continue to pay the subsequent reaccreditation or re-recognition fees associated with maintaining their award.
CORSA and the BSSA have also agreed to establish a Law Enforcement Best Practices Panel made up of Ohio sheriffs, former sheriffs, and recognized outside experts. This panel will support the efforts of the sheriffs’ offices by providing training seminars, sample policies, and additional services as identified by the participants.
Program Administrator David Brooks and Elizabeth G. Miller, J.D., Director of Risk Control Service at CORSA, and BSSA, Executive Director Robert Cornwell developed the program. For additional information contact: Elizabeth G. Miller at CORSA at (614) 221-5627 or www.CORSA.org; BSSA at (614) 432-5500 or www.BuckeyeSheriffs.org.
