Sheriff’s Office Captain honored by Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission  

Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay is pleased to announce that Sheriff’s Office Bureau of Corrections Capt. Jon Crane has been selected by the Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission as their 2019 Accreditation Manager of the Year.

“I am extremely proud of Capt. Jon Crane as he deserves this honor,” said Sheriff Rick Ramsay. “Capt. Crane’s daily dedication to maintaining our accreditation status reflects my commitment to excellence and professionalism across this agency.”

The Bureau of Corrections holds professional accreditation on both a state and national level. The three detention facilities in the Florida Keys — Plantation Key, Marathon and Key West — in total hold up to 700 inmates with an average daily population of approximately 560. The Sheriff’s Office employs approximately 136 certified detention deputies in all three facilities.

Capt. Crane started working for the Sheriff’s Office in 1998. He is active in the community as an active participant of Leadership Monroe and his annual bicycle drive during the holidays now provides hundreds of bicycles to children and others in need every year.

The Sheriff’s Office is professionally accredited by five separate accreditation agencies:

  • The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (national law enforcement accreditation)
  • The American Correctional Association (national corrections accreditation)
  • The Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditations
  • The Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission (the agency which has selected Capt. Crane as their 2019 Accreditation Manager of the Year)
  • The National Commission on Correctional Health Care

The Sheriff’s Office is also a Triple Crown Award winner regarding its accreditation status. The Triple Crown Award is given to Sheriff’s Offices which achieve simultaneous accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of the American Correctional Association, The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement and the National Commission on Correctional Health Care. Financial excellence is required in keeping such accreditation status.
