Accreditation
The Ocean Gate Police Department is a New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP) accredited agency and has committed to maintaining the highest level of integrity and professionalism.
Accreditation is ongoing process where we continually evaluate and develop our policies and procedures against a set of standards. These standards were developed by an outside accrediting body after vetting out the best practices for our profession. The accrediting body assigns a team of assessors to review our practices to verify that we meet these standards.
The process to be an accredited agency is an ongoing process. Our policies and procedures continue to evolve to meet the needs of our profession and the public we serve. As an agency we must submit to an evaluation by assessors from the accrediting body every three years to continually prove compliance with the standards.
The personnel of the Ocean Gate Police Department are proud to be an accredited agency and will continue to work to our highest level of professionalism well into the future. We have successfully been re-accredited in the Spring of 2024.
