New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police’s Post

On June 4th, I graduated from the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police West Point Command and Leadership Academy. I am the first Caldwell Police Officer to graduate from this prestigious 13-week training academy. Thank you to all the instructors and law enforcement professionals I had the pleasure working with for 13 weeks! About The Command and Leadership Academy: In 1993, NJSACOP officials traveled to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to work with the Academy's Department of Behavioral Sciences and Leadership to adapt the fabled West Point model of command and leadership to the needs of law enforcement. The result of this collaboration is the NJSACOP Command & Leadership Academy, a unique blend of theory and application. Candidates with the greatest leadership potential are selected for this highly competitive program from municipal, county, state, and federal agencies from throughout the region. For a program of this caliber, law enforcement professionals who are selected make more than a casual commitment; it is an intensive, demanding course that will pay dividends for the participant and his or her agency for a lifetime.
