East Brunswick Police Chief Elected 4th Vice President Of NJSACOP

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ - Chief Frank LoSacco of the East Brunswick Police Department has been elected the 4th Vice President of the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP). This appointment positions him on a path to become State President in June of 2029.

As per the association’s leadership structure, LoSacco will serve one year in each successive vice-presidential role before ultimately being sworn in as State President.

The New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP) was founded in 1912 with just 19 charter members, and the organization has grown into a respected force for leadership development and policy advocacy.

The NJSACOP is comprised of more than 1,000 members across local, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.

In addition to his new statewide role, LoSacco is currently serving his second term as President of the Middlesex County Association of Chiefs of Police. He has long been an active member of the NJSACOP, contributing significantly through service on various key committees and as an instructor in the Association’s Command & Leadership Academy.

“I am truly humbled and honored to have been given such an esteemed position,” LoSacco said. “I want to thank everyone who has supported me along the way. While my primary focus will always be on providing the highest level of police services to the residents of East Brunswick, I look forward to working closely with the executive board of the state association to maintain and advance the high standards of the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police.”

The NJSACOP plays a central role in shaping law enforcement across the state through training, accreditation, and legislative advocacy. Its flagship initiative, the Command & Leadership Academy, was launched in 1992 and is modeled after the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. This 13-week program has expanded beyond New Jersey’s borders, with sessions held in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and as far afield as Hungary and Botswana.

Another cornerstone of NJSACOP’s work is its Law Enforcement Accreditation Program, a voluntary certification that helps departments standardize operations, enhance accountability, and demonstrate commitment to professionalism.

Each year, the association hosts the Annual Training Conference and Police/Security Expo, drawing hundreds of law enforcement professionals for advanced training, strategic discussion, and the presentation of the Valor Awards, which recognize outstanding acts of bravery by officers and civilians alike.

LoSacco will be sworn in with the other executive board members at the Valor Awards ceremony.
