Atlantic County Sheriff's Office Seeks Re-Accreditation

Members of the public can leave comments on the sheriff's office's ability to comply with best practices.

The Atlantic County Sheriff’s Office is scheduled for an on-site assessment as part of its re-accreditation process, the sheriff’s office announced this week.

The accreditation program requires law enforcement agencies to comply with best practice standards in five basic areas, including:
  • administration;
  • personnel;
  • operations;
  • investigations; and
  • arrests/detainements.

The New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP) will send an assessment team, which will also take comments from agency employees and the public.

Comments can be left by calling 609-909-7206 on Monday, Aug. 1, between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.
