Englewood Fire Marshal Kyle Brooks has completed the process that awards the professional designation of “Fire Marshal”. The Commission on Professional Credentialing (CPC) met on October 3 to confer the designation.
“We are extremely proud of Fire Marshal Brooks for earning this prestigious designation,” said Englewood Fire Chief Keven Easton. “This achievement reflects his dedication to professional excellence and his ongoing commitment to serving our community at the highest standard. His leadership and expertise continue to strengthen our department and the safety of those we protect.”
The Fire Marshal designation program uses a comprehensive peer review model to evaluate candidates seeking the credentials. The Commission on Professional Credentialing awards the designation only after an individual successfully meets all the organization’s stringent criteria. The individual must demonstrate excellence in seven measured components: experience, education, professional development, professional contributions, association membership, community involvement, and technical competence.
Additionally, all applicants are required to identify a future professional development plan. Maintaining the designation requires recipients to demonstrate continued growth in professional development, make professional contributions, be actively associated with a professional organization, and engage in community involvement, while adhering to a strict code of professional conduct.
The Commission on Professional Credentialing, an entity of the Center for Public Safety Excellence, Inc., administers the Designation Program. Its members include individuals from academia, federal and local government, and the fire and emergency medical services profession.
