The goal is to give surety of merit in our state association ’ s formal gauging of effective police leadership through a model of peer review .
The NJSACOP ACE Certification Program directly encourages New Jersey ' s law enforcement executives to attain sanctioned benchmarks in pursuit of a recommended standard for police leadership that are measurable and attainable . By offering proof of these standards to NJSACOP Assessors , individual police leaders can attain NJSACOP Accredited Chief / Command Executive ( ACE ) Certification Status .
The Certification Program measures essential proofs in three areas for the ACE and ACE-COP Certification , and in five areas for the ACE-COP Advanced Certification . If it is merited , NJACOP awards individual leadership accredited status based on those appraisals . The ACE Program also promotes and encourages continued education through ACE Re-Certification Program requirements .
It is the policy of the NJSACOP to promote professional competence , continued education career development among all members of law enforcement and in particularly amongst our leaders . In order to achieve this goal the NJSACOP encourages current , future and retired chiefs and police executives to participate in the ACE Certification Program .
