Barnegat Police Captain Graduates From Senior Management Program

BARNEGAT, NJ — Barnegat Township Police Captain Jason Carroll recently graduated from a three-week program called the Senior Management Institute for Police (SMIP).

SMIP is a program of the Police Executive Research Forum that provides senior police executives with intensive training in the latest management concepts and practices used in business and government. It also features discussions of the most challenging issues facing law enforcement executives today.

A demanding three-week course, SMIP brings together a faculty from top-rated universities, successful law enforcement chief executives and subject matter experts from the private sector.

The program is designed for mid-to upper-level police executives who ultimately will lead police agencies throughout the United States and other participating countries.

Chief Keith A. Germain recognized Captain Carroll for his performance at the institute and his commitment to continued professional development.

"While we have an outstanding agency, we recognize our responsibility to always get better and put in the effort to make sure that we are on the very cutting edge of the profession," Germain said in a statement.

He continued, "Captain Carroll is the perfect example of a selfless servant leader who has spent an entire career putting the welfare of the agency and our service population ahead of his own. We're fortunate to have leaders of his caliber who are willing to take the time far away from family and friends to put in the work required to be a top-tier law enforcement executive."

Tuition for the institute, which was held in Orlando this year, was paid for with drug seizure funds.
