Ocean City Police Undergoing Final Assessment for State Accreditation

Ocean City, New Jersey — The Ocean City Police Department will be evaluated on July 21 by a team from the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police as part of the final step in a voluntary accreditation process. The assessment will review all facets of the department’s policies, operations, management, and support services to determine compliance with state law enforcement best practices. Accreditation, if granted, is valid for three years and requires annual proof of continued compliance. As part of the process, both department personnel and members of the public may provide comments to the assessors. Feedback can be given by phone at 609-525-9147 between 10 and 11 a.m. on July 21, or by email to wcampbell@ocnj.us. Written comments on the department’s compliance may also be submitted to hdelgado@njsacop.org or mailed to the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police in Marlton. Accreditation is aimed at improving accountability, reducing liability, strengthening legal defenses, and enhancing public trust in law enforcement operations.
