South Metro is actively preparing for re-accreditation in 2026, marking the next step in our ongoing commitment to excellence. Every five years, our department participates in a rigorous and comprehensive accreditation cycle that evaluates every aspect of our organization. This involves everything from strategic planning and community risk reduction to operations, training, and performance outcomes. This process not only strengthens our internal systems and decision-making but also ensures we stay aligned with industry best practices and the evolving needs of the communities we serve. Please join Chief DellOrfano, Kim McAndrews, and Scot Swindall as they discuss the what, how, and why of the accreditation process.
