Sarasota County Sheriff Kurt A. Hoffman is pleased to announce that the Sarasota County Correctional Facility was re-accredited by the Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission (FCAC) at a ceremony October 9 in Sanibel, Florida.

The assessors praised the agency for a flawless onsite visit, its tenth in a row, complying with all 256 applicable standards required for re-accreditation. This accomplishment earned the sheriff’s office the commission’s prestigious Excelsior Award for the fifth time. The commission also complimented the agency on the number of correctional facility programs offered addressing mental health, substance abuse, and in particular, the veterans assistance program.
