The public may call 732-951-7278 on July 12 from 10-11 a.m. Telephone comments are limited to 5 minutes and must address the agency’s ability to comply with the NJSACOP standards. Contact Lt. Ryan Uzunis at 732-247-0922, ext. 310 or at [email protected] for information about the standards.

Or, write to the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police, Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission, 751 Route 73 North, Suite 12, Marlton, NJ 08053.
The North Brunswick Police Department must comply with NJSACOP LEAP standards in order to achieve accredited status.
Accreditation results in greater accountability within the agency, reduced risk and liability exposure, stronger defense against civil lawsuits, increased community advocacy, and more confidence in the agency’s ability to operate efficiently and respond to community needs.”
The assessors will review written materials, interview agency members, and visit offices and other places where compliance with the standards can be observed.
Once the commission’s assessors complete their review of the agency, they will report to the full commission, which will then decide if the agency is to be granted accredited status.
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.
