Administrative Reporting Systems
A/Capt. Michael J. Rein, Rutgers University Police Department
Administrative reports ensure efficient communication up the chain of command and provide for periodic comparative and summary data analyses. Regularly compiling information relative to the activities of operational or administrative components and reviewing those activities will assist in improving management decisions. When properly interpreted, these reports help to maintain the overall mission, goals, and objectives of the agency. This session is designed to be both informative and interactive by providing attendees with an opportunity to review a myriad of administrative reports with an end towards identifying those styles which would be beneficial in their agency.
Learning Objectives

Agency Demographics and Recruitment Plans
Capt. Michael J. Rogers (ret.), West Orange Police Department
The recruitment standards of the law enforcement accreditation process have embraced the important philosophical concept (community expectation) that an agency’s sworn work force will be representative of the available workforce in the agency's service community relative to its ethnic and gender composition. If any group is underrepresented, the recruitment plan will include proactive steps to encourage members of that group to seek employment opportunities. This seminar will teach and enable the student to properly compile their agency and service community’s demographics in order to identify the underrepresented population and then develop a comprehensive recruitment plan.
Learning Objectives


  1. Identify the source material to determine service area demographics.




  1. Identify the underrepresented minorities in the agency.




  1. List potential goals and objectives to attract underrepresented minorities to the workforce.

Appealing a Assessor Team Decision
Harry Delgado, New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police

Sgt. David Finck, Monmouth County Sheriff's Office
The NJSACOP Accreditation Program is a non-adversarial, professional standards based, accountability system. Unlike most programs, the NJSACOP Accreditation Program is a dynamic system always evolving to meets the emerging needs of the law enforcement community of New Jersey. The dynamic nature of the program, from time to time, will create a situation where an agency and an assessment team may disagree. When this happens an agency can file an appeal with the NJSACOP Accreditation Commission. This block will provide an overview of the appeal system

Meet Your Program Manager
Harry Delgado, New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police
During this block of time attendees will have an opportunity to meet with NJSACOP Accreditation Program Manager Harry Delgado in a classroom type environment to ask questions and to engage in accreditation related conversation.

Microsoft Word in Policy Development
Marcie Anszperger, Rutgers University
The professional image of an organization, especially a law enforcement agency, is primarily conveyed through the writings of its employees. Operations and investigation reports can and do go all the way to the United States Supreme Court as well as the national media for close scrutiny for high profile cases. What many agencies don't understand is that is equally important for their policies and other types of written directives to convey not only well written content but they must also convey a professional appearance. Learning and using the formatting features of Microsoft Word will help achieve this image.

Ok, Got it... Now Prove It
Lt. Kieran Barrett, Montclair University Police Department

Lt. Brian Gibbons, Chatham Borough Police Department
Once an accreditation manager understands the key role they play, comprehends the standards in play and develops the policy, the question that comes inevitably is…how do I prove that I am meeting the standard. A common problem in accreditation management is almost always related to poor attention in the area of proofs. This presentation will serve the new manager, as well as those wanting some new ideas or would like to share their ideas, by answering the age-old question of accreditation, “just what is an assessor looking for?” Participants will be encouraged to share their thoughts on what good proofs are and what may not be.
Learning Objectives


  1. A clear understanding of common proofs in the process will be identified.




  1. Participants should be able to think outside the box when it comes to proving standard compliance.

The instructors will address how to interpret the standard statement and how to use the commentary as guidance. Standards that are reviewed during this class have been requested by CALEA and NJSACOP clients. This workshop has been regarded by many accreditation managers as the most informative and clarifying of all accreditation related courses. Experienced accreditation managers and assessors will review many of the more difficult standards with the students in an open discussion format.
