Congratulations to the Graduates of the Bridgewater Police Department Citizen’s Police Academy

The Bridgewater Police Department recently celebrated the graduation of its latest Citizen’s Police Academy class — a group of residents who dedicated their time to gaining a deeper understanding of modern law enforcement and the work carried out each day by the men and women of the department.

Throughout the program, participants received an inside look at patrol operations, investigations, emergency response, and community policing. The Academy is designed to strengthen communication, build trust, and foster meaningful connections between officers and the community they proudly serve.

The department extends sincere appreciation to Chief John Mitzak and the many officers and staff members who shared their time, expertise, and professionalism to make this year’s program a success. Their commitment to transparency and community engagement continues to make a positive impact throughout Bridgewater Township.

Gratitude is also extended to Mayor Matthew Moench and the Township Council for their ongoing support of initiatives like the Citizen’s Police Academy — programs that help build stronger, safer communities.

Congratulations once again to all of this year’s graduates. Your willingness to learn more about the important work of the Bridgewater Police Department reflects the very best of community partnership and civic engagement.
