The Administrative Services Division provides a supportive role for the agency through units such as:

• Records
• Planning and Research
• Accreditation
• Property and Evidence
• Court Liaison

The components of this division are responsible for the in-service training of all new and current police department personnel, the receipt, processing and retention of police department reports and documents.

This division is also responsible for the department’s accreditation certification. The Margate Police Department has been accredited by the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement (CFA) since 1997. An accreditation program has long been recognized as a means of maintaining the highest standards of professionalism. Accreditation is the certification by an independent reviewing authority that an entity has met specific requirements and prescribed standards.
