Accreditation
High Point Fire Department is Internationally Accredited through the Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE) and Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI). This is an ongoing adoption of a model that enables HPFD to work towards continual self-improvement in every aspect of the Department.
A community risk analysis, standard of cover analysis, an internal self-assessment and continued growth are all key components to the accreditation model. A peer review and checks and balances by the Commissioners, accreditation is a detailed evaluation of the Department, assuring the public that the services provided are appropriate and to a high-level of standing, identifying and creating a system to develop strategies and plans for growth, and documentation of policies and procedures for the entire Department.
