The Brick police department has\u00a0earned re-accreditation from the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP) at a commission review hearing that took place March 10, 2016 at the South Brunswick Municipal Complex, the department said in a statement Friday.<\/p>\n

Chief James Riccio, Lt. Steven Gerling and Sergeant Michael Drew appeared before the panel of commissioners in what was the final phase of the re-accreditation process that has continued since 2015, the statement said. Accredited status represents a significant professional achievement in the law enforcement community and also earns taxpayers a discount on insurance and related costs.<\/p>\n

Accreditation formally acknowledges the\u00a0implementation of policies and procedures that are conceptually sound and operationally effective.\u00a0Originally accredited in Sept.\u00a02012, the department participated in an on-site assessment by NJSACOP to complete an in-depth review of all policies, procedures and department operations in Oct. 2015. Accreditation involves compliance with 105 standards that represent best practices in law enforcement.<\/p>\n

Riccio said he is \u201cproud of the men and women of the Brick Township Police Department for once again achieving this level of recognition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe re-accreditation for our department validates that we continue to be in line with the highest standards in law enforcement,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
