   Captain Rich Jasinski of the West Manatee Fire and Rescue District has successfully completed the process that awards him the professional designation of “Fire Officer” (FO). The Commission on Professional Credentialing (CPC) met on June 8, 2010, to officially confer the designation upon Captain Rich Jasinski. Captain Rich Jasinski is one of only 13 FO’s worldwide. 

 

 The CPC awards the FO designation only after an individual successfully meets all of the organization’s stringent criteria. The process includes an assessment of the applicant’s education, experience, professional development, technical competencies, contributions to the profession, and community involvement. In addition, all applicants are required to identify a future professional development plan.

 
The Fire Officer designation program uses a comprehensive peer review model to evaluate candidates seeking the credential.
 
The Commission on Professional Credentialing, an entity of the Center for Public Safety Excellence, Inc., (CPSE) administers the FO Designation Program. The CPC consists of individuals from academia, federal and local government, and the fire and emergency medical services profession. To learn more about CPC, visit www.publicsafetyexcellence.org.
 
Captain Rich Jasinski has been a member of the West Manatee Fire and Rescue District for 20 years and currently resides in Bradenton.
