“On behalf of the New Jersey State Police, I would like to personally thank you for your participation during our CALEA “Mock” assessment, December 18, 19, 20, 2006. The high level of expertise and technical assistance brought by law enforcement professionals such as yourself, in the pursuit of “Best Practices” by other law enforcement agencies, brings great credit to yourself and your agency. The New Jersey State Police looks forward to becoming part of the CALEA family of nationally accredited law enforcement agencies. If we may be of assistance in matters of mutual concern, please do not hesitate to contact us…”

Sincerely,

Colonel Joseph R. Fuentes

“It was a pleasure speaking with you at the Federal Law Enforcement Foundation Event last week. While there are many challenges and new threats, I am glad to know that law enforcement officials, like yourself, are dedicated to the protection and safety of our citizens and , more importantly, willing to share common concerns and solutions. Thank you for your service to our nation. I look forward to working with you.”

“The New Jersey Police Chiefs Foundation in conjunction with the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police have committed to the establishment of a center dedicated to advancing professional police leadership in New Jersey. Our plans are to create a facility that will be used as a centralized executive training and education center, a resource center for the use of all law enforcement executives in the state, as well as a home base of the key organizations serving New Jersey’s law enforcement executives. In light of these goals, we are very pleased to offer the New Jersey Public Safety Accreditation Coalition a home at the Police Leadership Resource & Training Center… Simply put it is our belief that if this Center is truly to be the Police Leadership Resource & Training Center, organizations such as yours are an important component in fulfilling our mission.”

Sincerely,

Mitchell C. Sklar
Executive Director
New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police

 

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and all the members of the NJPSAC for the generous donation of your time and effort put forth in the performance of the mock assessment for the Chatham Borough Police Department. The assessment was instrumental in guiding us down the final stretch toward our official on-site assessment. The knowledge, expertise, and professionalism exhibited by all of the NJPSAC members who assisted with the mock assessment were unsurpassed. The team did a fantastic job evaluating all our files, reviewing our facilities, monitoring our operations, and providing positive and constructive input.

As a direct result of our mock assessment, I believe that we have developed a great strategic plan and as such will head in to our official on-site focused and confident that we will achieve international accreditation through CALEA. Thank you again for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Lt. Philip Crosson
Chatham Borough Police Department (NJ)

I would like to recognize and thank the New Jersey Public Safety Accreditation Coalition for their efforts in assisting my agency as we prepared for national law enforcement accreditation. Members of the Coalition provided direction and mentoring to my accreditation manager and the assistant accreditation manager. I would like to thank you personally for the countless hours of assistance that you provided to my agency throughout our self assessment stage.

The mock assessment that was conducted in June 2007 by members of the Coalition was instrumental in preparation for the on-site assessment. The assessors were professional dealing with my accreditation team throughout the week. During the mock assessment, the Coalition assessors identified a number of areas that needed further attention by this agency. Their attention to detail would become the foundation on which this agency would build upon in final preparation for the on-site assessment.

In September 2007, the national assessment team from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. arrived in town to conduct the on-site assessment. The assessment went smoothly and methodically throughout the week. When it was over, the assessment team reported that they had discovered two standards in applied discretion compliance. The applied discretions involved two phrases that were immediately changed to reflect compliance. During our exit interview with the assessment team, we were informed that the team is in full agreement in its recommendation that the Chatham Borough Police Department be nationally accredited.

The successful conclusion to this agency's goal of being a nationally accredited law enforcement agency lies in the efforts of the New Jersey Public Safety Accreditation Coalition. I am convinced that without the assistance of the Coalition and its members, our achievements would not have been possible.

Again, thank you and your members for everything that you have provided to my agency.

Chief John W. Drake III
Chatham Police Department
Chatham, New Jersey
