Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office
The Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office March 16 was awarded a certificate of reaccreditation from the New Jersey State Association Chiefs of Police Law Enforcement Accreditation Program for providing a high level of service to the community.
Program standards incorporate key provisions of New Jersey State laws, codes, rules, regulations and requirements set forth by the NJ Attorney General. These standards are divided into five categories: administration, personnel, operations, investigative and arrestee/detainee/prisoner handling functions.
During a two-day process in January, a team of officials from the NJSACOP Law Enforcement Accreditation Program reviewed the agency's compliance to the standards through electronic means, interviews, independent observations of the agency's operations, and various work areas.
Prosecutor William Reynolds acknowledged that the reaccreditation could not have been achieved without the support of the entire agency.
The real credit goes to each member of our agency who conducts themselves in a professional manner every day and exemplifies the standards that we must meet. This is a proud day for our agency and the community that we serve, Reynolds said in a
Being an accredited law enforcement agency sends a strong message to our community that the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office is comprised of professional law enforcement personnel, who serve with distinction, Chief of County Detectives Patrick Snyder said. We can be very proud of the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office.
To maintain accreditation status, the office will be reassessed every three years.
I have no doubt that the members of our agency will continue their commitment to professional excellence in their work and to the community, Snyder said.
The Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office received its initial state accreditation in 2013 and applies for reaccreditation every three years.
