Professional Standards Unit

The Professional Standards unit oversees applicant hiring, manages promotions and transfers, maintains agency accreditation through the San Andreas Law Enforcement Professional Standards Commission, assists with Internal Affairs/Professional Standards investigations, and assists with policy and procedure formulation. 

The purpose of the Office of Professional Standards is to ensure the integrity of the Blaine County Sheriff's Office through the objective and intensive investigation of allegations of police misconduct. Integrity and reputation of a police force are vital if it is to accomplish its mission. Accordingly, the Office of Professional Standards is principally responsible for helping the Blaine County Sheriff's Office maintain its credibility and respect, both from the public it serves and among its members.
