Overview
Mission
The Florida Police Accreditation Coalition, Inc. (FLA-PAC) supports individuals with an interest in the accreditation process and recognizes the concept of accreditation for law enforcement agencies, correctional institutions/facilities, crime laboratories, public safety agencies, Offices of Inspectors General, pre-trial agencies, public safety communications centers, and any public entity as a means of enhancing the quality of law enforcement services, correctional activities, and other public services within the State of Florida. To this end, the FLA-PAC will provide a network for member agencies that will encourage communication, mutual cooperation, training, support, and the sharing of resources.
What it reported doing in 2024
The three largest program services provided by the FLA-PAC as measured by expenses are the three training weeks offered throughout the year each year in February, June, and October. The FLA-PAC Training Week is the main program service that we provide to support the accreditation process and the member agencies. Each training week is a substantial accomplishment as we host the Commissions for CFA, FCAC, and the FLA-TAC Commission which accredits communications divisions across the State of Florida.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 84% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
