The Bedford Police Department Detention officers and support staff were found to be quite
professional, and caring employees. All officers were well trained, and very alert. It was observed

apparent by the 'walk-thru' and jail SOP updates. Management should be encouraged to have

of the Review Worksheets.

It is the Reviewer in Charge recommendation that the facility receive a rating of "Acceptable".

documentation contained in the review file.
