In this episode of Beyond the Checklist, we sit down with Joe Race—public safety attorney, former police captain, accreditation manager, and national assessor—to explore why “we don’t do it for accreditation.”
Drawing on his experience as a Marine Corps veteran, FBI National Academy graduate, and CALEA accreditation leader, Joe challenges the compliance-only mindset and reframes accreditation as a strategic accelerator for organizational excellence, risk reduction, and cultural improvement.
This conversation goes beyond standards and checklists to examine leadership mindset, liability mitigation, and how accreditation can strengthen public trust and operational legitimacy across public safety disciplines.
