Glen Rock Police Undergo Accreditation Review

GLEN ROCK, NJ — Glen Rock Police will undergo an accreditation review beginning Monday, and assessors from the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police are seeking public comment.

A team of assessors from the NJSACOP will examine all aspects of the Glen Rock Police Department’s policies and procedures, management, operations, and support services, according to Police Chief Dean Ackermann.

"Verification by the team that the Glen Rock Police Department meets the Commission’s 'best practice' standards is part of a voluntary process to achieve accreditation, a highly prized recognition of law enforcement professional excellence," said Ackermann.

As part of this final, on-site assessment, employees and members of the public are invited to provide comments to the assessment team. They may do so by telephone or email.

The public can call (201) 961- 2579 on Monday between the hours of 10 and 11 a.m., or email comments to sorsita@glenrockpolice.com.

Telephone comments are limited to 5 minutes and must address the agency’s ability to comply with the NJSACOP standards.

A copy of the standards is available for inspection, by appointment, at the Glen Rock Police Department, 1 Harding Plaza, Glen Rock, N.J. 07452. Contact Police Officer Sarah Orsita at (201) 652-3800 with questions.

To offer written comments, e-mail the Accreditation Program Director at hdelgado@njsacop.org or write the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police, Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission at 751 Route 73 North, Suite 12, Marlton, N.J. 08053.

Accreditation is valid for a three-year period during which time the agency must submit annual reports attesting to their continued compliance with those standards under which it was initially accredited.
