Prosecutor's Office Seeking Public Input For Accreditation

As part of its efforts to achieve accreditation, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office is scheduled for an on-site assessment to verify that it meets recognized professional best practices, and that assessment will include an opportunity for public comment.

Administered by the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police, the accreditation program requires agencies to comply with best practice standards in five basic areas: the administrative function, the personnel function, the operations function, the investigative function, and the arrestee/detainee function.

A copy of the standards is available for inspection at the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, 119 Hooper Ave., Toms River.

Agency employees and the public are invited to offer comments by calling (732) 831-7900 on Monday, Dec. 7, 2015 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Comments will be taken by the Assessment Team. Email comments can be sent to the police department at kmoore@co.ocean.nj.us.

Telephone comments are limited to 5 minutes and must address the agency’s ability to comply with the NJSACOP standards. Please contact Accreditation Manager Kevin Moore at (732) 929-2027 at extension 3128 for more information.

Anyone wishing to submit written comments may send them by email to Harry J. Delgado, Accreditation Program Manager, hdelgado@njsacop.org, by phone 856.334.8943.

Comments also may be mailed to the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police, Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission at 751 Route 73 North, Suite 12, Marlton, N.J. 08053.
