Morris County Sheriff’s Office held the first of three sessions of its Clergy Academy.
More than thirty different religious institutions from throughout Morris County met at the Morris County Public Safety Training Academy in Parsippany to discuss a variety of community and law enforcement issues.
The Clergy leaders also learned about the Sheriff’s Office and various types of law enforcement agencies in our area. The participants also learned about the programs and services offered by Morris County law enforcement that can be useful to protecting their congregations. The Clergy met with members of the Sheriff’s Community Services Unit and learned about the value of promoting and participating in the Morris County Crimestoppers Program.
“It is vital that law enforcement be connected with the community and by partnering with the clergy it is possible to help reduce crime and protect our citizens”, said Undersheriff
of the Morris County Sheriff’s Office who spearheaded the program. This academy, is the first of its kind run by the agency, and partners with the Morris County Department of Law and Public Safety as well as the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office in future sessions which will be held at the Public Safety Complex and the Correctional Facility.
