Middle Township Police Department to be Re-accredited

COURT HOUSE – On Oct. 6 and 7, 2013, a team of assessors from the New Jersey Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission (NJLEAC) will be coming to the Middle Township Police Department to evaluate the department’s policies and procedures, management, operations and support services. The Middle Township Police Department was initially accredited in 2006 and re-accredited in 2010. Verification by the team that the Middle Township Police Department meets the Commission’s standards is part of a voluntary process to maintain accreditation.
As part of the on site assessment, agency employees and members of the community are invited to offer comments via telephone. The public may call 609-465-8719 on Oct. 7, 2013, between the hours of 09:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Telephone comments are limited to 5 minutes and must address the agency’s ability to comply with NJLEAC’s standards. A copy of the standards is available at the Middle Township Police Department. For information on the standards, contact Lieutenant William Adams, Accreditation Manager, 609-465-8700.
Persons wishing to offer written comments about the Middle Township Police Department’s ability to meet the standards for accreditation are requested to write to:
New Jersey State Chiefs of Police Association
11000 Lincoln Drive West, Suite 12
Marlton, New Jersey 08053
The Middle Township Police Department has to comply with 100 standards in order to be re-accredited. The assessment team is composed of law enforcement practitioners from other agencies in the state. The assessors will review written materials, interview individuals, and visit offices and other areas where compliance can be witnessed. If re-accreditation is granted, accreditation status is for 3 years, during which the agency must submit annual reports attesting to continued compliance with those standards under which it received accreditation.
