Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical remains on target with its accreditation commitments to the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI).
In March 2023, the department was unanimously awarded Re-accredited Agency Status by CFAI, providing accredited status through 2028. LDCFM is one of only 340 fire departments worldwide to obtain CFAI Accredited Status. The department submits an annual compliance report every February and continues working toward re-accreditation. The accreditation process is integrated into our daily operations and is the foundation by which we provide quality services to Lawrence and Douglas County. Currently, the department is operating under the goals and objectives outlined in the 2021–2026 Strategic Plan. The Standards of Cover document defines emergency response strategies that leaders, administration, and members commit to provide, at a minimum, to all community members.

The self-assessment model enables organizations to examine past, current, and future service levels and internal performance compared to industry best practices. It is submitted to CFAI as part of the accreditation process.
