The New Jersey Police Chief Magazine | March 2017
FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT CHIEF WILLIAM G. PARENTI NORTH PLAINFIELD PD
A Must Attend for New Police Chiefs (and future Chiefs as well)
Each March, our Association (with the assistance of the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice, the New Jersey State Police and other important partners) present the New Police Chiefs Orientation program. This program is designed to offer the new Chief an overview of the topics, information and skills needed to succeed in the critical role of Chief of Police in a New Jersey law enforcement agency. This important course is especially appropriate for those who have been promoted to Chief over the past 12 months, but all Chiefs of Police are eligible and invited to register. Second-in-Commands are invited to register at the discretion of the agency Chief.
A quick look at the course agenda makes clear how important and useful this program is for newer chiefs. Topics that are discussed include AG Guidelines, Drug Testing, Forfeiture Funds, OPRA, Internal Affairs, Psychological Fitness-for-Duty, Firearms Permits – all key issues for police chiefs. The full agenda and a registration form can be found in this issue of The New Jersey Police Chief.
For all of our newer chiefs, the best advice I can give you is to register now and make the time to attend. For our more experienced chiefs, if you are getting close to retirement, you may wish to con- sider registering your second-in-command (or perhaps even multiple possible successors) as a part of your succession planning.
Along with membership in your State and County Police Chiefs associations, attendance at the annual New Police Chiefs Orientation course is the best step a newer chief can take to ensure he or she gets off to a strong start in the challenging new role as chief of a New Jersey police department.
Sincerely,
Chief William G. Parenti NJSACOP President North Plainfield Police Department
