The Woodland Park Police Department recently received its reaccreditation through the NJ Association of Chiefs of Police. The recertification verified that the Department met all recognized professional best practice standards. As part of accreditation, all policies and procedures are revised and updated to current standards. Not only does this make the Department more efficient and effective, it also reduces liability and insurance rates, helping the taxpayer. It should be noted that only 22 percent of law endorsement agencies obtain accredited status.
