The Avalon Police Department was honored at the Jan. 24 Borough Council meeting for its fourth accreditation by the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP). The accreditation, which is only achieved by 30% of the police departments in the state, delivers an objective measurement of the department’s leadership and service. The department is reviewed every three years, which includes a full on-site assessment.
