🎉 A historic first for Kansas law enforcement

On October 15, the Dickinson County Sheriff's Office received its initial Kansas Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (KLEAP) award during a Dickinson County Commission meeting. Chief Mikel Golden of the McPherson, KS, Police Department presented the award on behalf of the Kansas Accreditation Council.

The agency is the first sheriff’s office in Kansas to achieve state accreditation. Its accreditation team demonstrated compliance with 167 professional standards through a comprehensive file review and on-site assessment.

Congratulations to Sheriff Jerry Davis, Undersheriff Jeff Vaughan, Accreditation Assistant Bayli Huffman, and the entire Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office. This achievement reflects a strong commitment to professionalism, accountability, transparency, continuous improvement, and service to the community.

Please join us in congratulating Dickinson County on this milestone.
