Background:
The Lee's Summit Fire Department attained international accreditation through the Commission on Fire Accreditation International in August 2016. While attaining accreditation is a big accomplishment for the department, the intent of the process is always looking towards "continual improvement". There are items in divisions within the Fire Department that CFAI recommends improvement in the service to the citizens.
Also, an accredited fire department must fulfill the requirements of the Annual Compliance Report (ACR), in which a report is to be given to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) of any gaps in the operational capabilities and capacity of the current delivery system to mitigate risks as identified in the Standards of Cover. That department is also required to notify the AHJ of gaps between current capabilities, capacity, and level of service approved by the AHJ. This presentation will fulfill those requirements.
Other documents covered in this presentation which connects with the accreditation process include: 2018 Strategic Plan, 2018 Self-Assessment progress, 2018 CFAI Annual Compliance Report, 2017 ISO report in correlation to Accreditation.
