Personnel oversees the advertisement of all open positions, sworn and non-sworn, as well as the interview, background and final hiring process for all job titles. Accounts Payable includes payment for police equipment, as well as processing travel and P-card activities. Building and Construction projects fall under Project Management. The Federally funded Domestic Marijuana Eradication is included in our Special Programs area. Information Technology oversees all aspects of computer use including hardware, software, special applications, user training and end-user support. All Property, Evidence and Inventory are managed in Tallahassee by the Property and Evidence Administrator.
AgLaw Training is responsible for coordinating the agency’s specialized as well as annual in-service training for all sworn employees, to include maintaining state law enforcement certification and firearms qualifications. Once a sworn employee has been hired, AgLaw Training manages the Field Training Program. In addition this section is responsible for processing all training requests for civilian employees, as well as handling all nominations for awards.
On June 6, 2007, the Office of Agricultural Law Enforcement was awarded initial accredited status by the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation, Inc. To accomplish this task, AgLaw showed compliance with hundreds of standards established by the Commission. These standards ensure law enforcement agencies provide quality service to the community, as well as reduce liability for the agency and its members. The Accreditation Section’s primary goal is to maintain law enforcement accreditation. As part of our effort to facilitate policy distribution, we have recently implemented a policy system that is electronic. In addition, all AgLaw Policies are available to employees and the public under the Written Directives page of this website.
This Bureau coordinates requests for the AgLaw Honor Guard, a program to provide tribute and to honor the memory of any employee, active or retired, who was in good standing at the time of death. The AgLaw Honor Guard is comprised of uniformed sworn employees trained in correct protocol for funeral services and ceremonial events.
