Stafford Police Communications Division Achieves Accreditation

STAFFORD, NJ — The Stafford Township Police Department’s Communications Division has been awarded with the “Public Safety Communications Accreditation” by the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP).

Stafford is the second department in New Jersey to receive this designation, joining an exclusive group of departments across the country to meet this standard of excellence in public safety.

The accreditation process includes an intensive, one-year review of policies, procedures, operations and software.

Accreditation results in greater accountability within the agency, reduced risk and liability exposure, stronger defense against civil lawsuits, and an increased confidence in the agency’s dispatch center to operate efficiently and respond to community needs.

Chief Thomas Dellane and Accreditation Manager Thomas Preiser commend Communications Supervisor Tim Cunningham, and all members of the Stafford Township Police Department, for their professionalism and hard work in attaining this achievement.

“We would like to extend a special thank you to Retired Chief Harry Delgado of the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police for presenting us with this prestigious award at the Town Council Meeting on October 26, 2021. We’d also like to thank the Mayor and Council, as well as our amazing Stafford Township community for your continued support!” Dellane and Preiser said in a joint statement.
