Residents Invited To Weigh In On Police Performance
There will be a public call-in June 5 to address how the Maplewood Police Department is serving the community.
As part of the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police accreditation process, the public is welcome to make their voices heard.
NJSACOP will be conducting a final, on-site assessment of the Maplewood Township Police Department June 4, with a public call-in the following day.
"Verification by the team that the Maplewood Township Police Department meets the Commission’s 'best practice' standards is part of a voluntary process to achieve accreditation, a highly prized recognition of law enforcement professional excellence," Chief Robert Cimino said.
The department must follow at least 100 standards of service to receive accreditation.
The public may call 973-761-7868 June 5 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. and are limited to up to five minutes of commentary. Comments must be about the department's capability to meet the standards set by the NJSACOP.
