GTPD members receive significant designations

Three members of the Gloucester Township Police Department underwent peer reviews through the NJSACOP Accredited Chief/Command Executive (ACE) Program

The following is a release by the Gloucester Township Police Department:

The New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP) awarded certification status to deserving police executives across the state at the February 6th State Meeting for Chiefs.

Certification Status lasts for three years. At the end of that period, Command Executives and Chiefs of Police must show they have maintained the training and leadership standards since their initial award of certification.

Achieving Command Executives join a select group, only 33 percent of state police chiefs are certified and only 29 percent of municipalities have certified command executives.

Gloucester Township Police Department’s Chief David J. Harkins, Deputy Chief Anthony Minosse and Captain Brian McKendry recently underwent peer reviews conducted by the NJSACOP Accredited Chief/Command Executive (ACE) Program and successfully earned significant designations.

Harkins received the designation of Accredited Command Executive-Chief of Police, while Minosse and McKendry received the designation of Accredited Command Executive.

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.  Through years of education and continued professional development training Chief David J. Harkins, Deputy Chief Anthony Minosse and Captain Brian McKendry have met these standards.
