Town Manager Eric Peterson had hoped to seaside up the annals in time for an on-site investigation this Aug but right away says that is impossible. CALEA is doubtful to accede to an additional prolongation and has questions about the sincerity of all annals after a little were backdated to show correspondence underneath Birkheads watch, according to a press recover from Town Hall.
Birkhead has pronounced he followed the recommendation of an worker who managed the departments accreditation files.
Peterson began questioning the military dialect last October, about 6 months prior to Birkhead resigned, observant he longed for to concentration on his now-failed debate for Orange County sheriff. Peterson found record-keeping problems with sixteen out of 460 CALEA standards.
"Almost all of the some-more than 400 files for the reaccreditation routine need correction, are blank proofs or need composition to a little existent policies," states the press release. "The dialect would not have been ready for an on-site investigation in August."
