Accreditation

Jessica Raterman

Trotwood Fire and Rescue strives to employ the best practices in fire safety and emergency medical services and to continually improve all aspects of service to the community.

Trotwood Fire & Rescue is pursuing initial Accreditation through the Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE). Accreditation is a continuous quality improvement process based on community risk analysis and agency self-assessment that promotes the establishment of community-adopted performance goals and verification through third-party peer review. This process encompasses the full span of fire and emergency service operations. Working towards, achieving, and maintaining accreditation:

• Provides greater community alignment
• Encourages quality improvement
• Identifies areas of strengths and weaknesses
• Allows for the establishment of a plan for improvement
• Provides data-supported decision making
• Ensures the department has a defined mission and related objectives
• Facilitates input from and builds positive relationships with labor
• Communicates management and leadership philosophies
