Accreditation Program Spring Commission Accreditation Hearing By Harry J. Delgado, NJSACOP Accreditation Program Manager
As the New Jersey Association of Chiefs of Police Law Enforcement Accreditation Program Commissioners gather for the spring Accreditation Hearing, they will decide the fate of approximately 24 agencies.
These agencies cross the entire law enforcement spectrum; local agencies large and small, Sheriff’s Offices, and even the NJ State Bureau of Parole. Over one third of these agencies will be seeking accreditation for the first time while others will receive their first reaccreditation, second reaccreditation and even third reaccreditation.
These agencies represent the incredible growth of NJSACOP LEAP with over 170 agencies already accredited, and the commitment of the law enforcement community in the state of New Jersey to excellence in policing.
The New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police has pursued the concept and development of a voluntary statewide law enforcement accreditation program for New Jersey. This effort has resulted in the formation of the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police Law Enforcement Accreditation Program.
Accreditation is a progressive and time-proven way of helping law enforcement agencies calculate and improve their overall performances. The foundation of Accreditation lies in the adoption of standards containing a clear statement of professional objectives. Participating agencies conduct a thorough self -analysis to determine how existing operations can be adapted to meet these objectives. When the procedures are in place, a team of trained assessors verifies that applicable standards have been successfully implemented.
Accreditation status represents a significant professional achievement.
