cers and staff from law enforcement agencies throughout
the state.
Delgado explained the significance of accreditation and
what it means to both the police department and residents
of Middletown Township:
“This coveted accreditation status represents a significant
benchmark accomplishment in the professional performance of any law enforcement agency. It signifies a level of
professional organization and a commitment to excellence
in law enforcement that very few other police agencies have
achieved.”
Accredited organizations may qualify for a significant discount in their liability insurance which amongst other benefits, helps justify the time, effort and expense involved in
achieving accreditation.
The Middletown Township Police Department joins an
exclusive group of police agencies that are currently accredited by the NJSACOP Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission. NJSACOP is a professional membership
organization serving New Jersey's law enforcement and private security executives. Its mission is to promote and
enhance the highest ethical and professional standards at
every level of law enforcement throughout New Jersey and
become the primary vehicle for the development of excellence in law enforcement leadership throughout the state.
