The New Jersey Police Chief Magazine | January 2022
110 years of service – and counting
Each month in our New Jersey Police Chief Magazine , we dig into our Association ’ s archives to publish highlights from our organization ’ s history stretching back to the very beginning in the early years of the 20 th century , right up to recent times . I hope that you take the time to read these highlights each month ( as well as take a look at the vintage photos ). Not only is reading these highlights interesting and enjoyable , but they also offer a look into where we have been , both as an organization and a profession . They reveal how our Chiefs and our Association have from the very start taken the lead in addressing the issues facing policing in our state , and just what an important role we have always played in moving our profession forward .
In reading through these articles each month , it is also clear that , again from the very start , the NJSACOP has also been an important resource for our members and their agencies , as well as for our state government . What also comes through these minutes from across the decades is the importance for chiefs to attend our monthly NJSACOP Police Chiefs Briefings . The information , the networking , and the mutual assistance that our members receive each month is a priceless benefit of membership , and absolutely worth the small commitment of time required each month . Putting these monthly meetings in your diary shouldn ’ t be all that difficult either – they are held the first Thursday of every month ( except July and August ), as they have been every year since 1912 .
What will fill our 2022 archives ? Only time will tell , but I can promise all of our members and stakeholders that we will honor our history and continue to lead the way in addressing the issues facing policing in our state and in moving our profession forward .
