MORRIS COUNTY — Sheriff Edward V. Rochford is pleased to announce the inaugural session of the Morris County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Clergy Academy.
This program is the first of its kind in Morris County and will be held in January of 2016. The program is designed to build relationships between the diverse clergy serving Morris County and law enforcement.
This program will consist of three sessions and will provide members of the clergy with important information about law enforcement’s role in the community and how officers are trained to protect and serve in today’s complex world.
The sessions are scheduled to be held on Thursday, January 14, 21 and 28 at the Morris County Public Safety Complex, Parsippany.
The program is free of charge and open to all members of the clergy and religious leaders from the Morris County area. “This program is an important way to strengthen the relationships between our law enforcement officers and the clergy. The clergy has a unique role in fostering community relations,” said Undersheriff William Schievella who will lead the program. The Morris County Sheriff’s Office is the first Sheriff’s Office in the State of New Jersey to become nationally accredited and has gone on to earn national accreditation for 12 straight years, ranking the agency in the top 1% of the over 3,000 Sheriff’s Offices nationwide. Under Sheriff Rochford’s leadership the Sheriff’s Office continues to build important relationships with the communities that it serves.
