Accreditation

 

Metro West maintains international accreditation through the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI), administered by the Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE). This process involves a continuous and comprehensive self-assessment of all operations and services to ensure alignment with industry best practices.

 

Accreditation is more than a recognition. It’s a commitment to continuous improvement. For Metro West, this process strengthens the ability to meet community needs and reinforces the mission of delivering exceptional emergency services. It’s a powerful tool which guides decisions, supports professional development and ensures maintaining trusted and effective transparency as a public resource.

 

By maintaining accredited status, Metro West remains a leader in professional, high-quality emergency services.

 

 

At Metro West, responsible stewardship of public resources is at the heart of everything we do. This commitment is reflected in our ongoing efforts to meet the highest standards of government financial reporting, standards recognized by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) through the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.

 

This certificate is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting, awarded to public agencies who demonstrate transparency, accuracy and clarity in their annual comprehensive financial reports. The award not only acknowledges the quality of our financial reporting but also represents the dedication and professionalism of our administrative and finance team. By consistently pursuing excellence in financial reporting, Metro West affirms its commitment to transparency, fiscal integrity and the responsible use of public funds.
