The Freehold Borough Police Department is scheduled for an on-site assessment as part of its program to achieve accreditation by verifying that it meets recognized professional best practices.
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, according to a press release.
Agency employees and members of the public are invited to offer comments by calling 908-839-3297 on May 9 between 10-11 a.m. Comments will be taken by the assessment team.
Email comments can be sent to the police department at [email protected]
Telephone comments are limited to five minutes and must address the agency’s ability to comply with the NJSACOP standards.
A copy of the standards is available for inspection at the Freehold Borough Police Department, 36 Jackson St. Contact Agent Robert Flanigan at 732-462-1233, ext. 107, for more information.
