The Wharton Borough Police Department is scheduled for an on-site assessment as part of its program to achieve accreditation by verifying that it meets recognized professional best practices.
Administered by the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police, the accreditation program requires agencies to comply with best practice standards in five basic areas: the administrative function, the personnel function, the operations function, the investigative function, and the arrestee/detainee function.
Agency employees and the public are invited to offer comments by calling (862) 397-2705 on Monday, January 26, 2025 between the hours of 10am-11am. Comments will be taken by the Assessment Team. Email comments can be sent to the police department at
Telephone comments are limited to 5 minutes and must address the agency’s ability to comply with the NJSACOP standards. Please contact Captain Bill Hamilton at (862) 397-2701 for more information.
Anyone wishing to submit written comments about the Wharton Borough Police Department’s ability to comply with the standards for accreditation may send them by email to Harry J Delgado, Ed.S Accreditation Program Director,
