The Bedford County Sheriff’s Office announced that it has achieved Tier 1 accreditation from the Tennessee Corrections Institute (TCI).
Tier 1 jails have undergone inspections to prove that they meet standards above and beyond those that are required for jail certifications. Currently, less than 25% of jails in Tennessee have obtained Tier 1 accreditation. Benefits of Tier 1 jails include higher state reimbursements for state inmate housing, reduced liability, and greater protection from lawsuits.
