MORRIS PLAINS — The Morris Plains Police Department will undergo a formal assessment on Monday, May 19, as part of its ongoing efforts to maintain accreditation and uphold recognized standards of professional excellence.
The assessment is part of a program administered by the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP), which evaluates departments across the state to ensure compliance with best practices in five core areas: administrative operations, personnel management, investigative procedures, detainee handling, and general operations.

Comments must be limited to five minutes and should focus specifically on the department’s ability to meet accreditation standards. Email comments may also be submitted to Chief Michael M. Koroski at [email protected].
Residents who prefer to submit written comments about the department’s performance and compliance with accreditation standards can email Harry J. Delgado, Ed.S, Accreditation Program Director, at [email protected], or send a letter to the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police, Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission, located at 751 Route 73 North, Suite 12, Marlton, NJ 08053.
