Accreditation isn’t about checking boxes—it’s about what you learn along the way.

In this episode, Joe Race of the Daigle Law Group challenges one of the most common traps in public safety accreditation: doing the work simply to satisfy a standard.

From community surveys to use-of-force analysis, Joe breaks down why these processes lose their value when they’re treated as paperwork exercises—and how they become powerful tools when agencies approach them with genuine curiosity, leadership intent, and a commitment to improvement.

This conversation goes beyond compliance to explore:

• Why intent matters more than documentation

• How accreditation can drive meaningful organizational learning

• What leaders miss when data is collected but not truly examined

• How caring about outcomes—not optics—builds trust internally and externally

If you’re an accreditation manager, executive, assessor, or public safety leader who believes accreditation should strengthen culture, accountability, and legitimacy—not just fill a file—this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen in and rethink what it really means to “do it for accreditation.”
