Congratulations to Lt. Everett Holt from the Borough of Raritan and the Community

Raritan PD would like to formally recognize Lieutenant Everett Holt and congratulate him on his graduation from the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP) Command & Leadership Academy on February 2nd.

In recognizing the challenges in law enforcement, the NJSACOP made a commitment to be in the forefront of innovation and change. The primary component of that commitment is the development of future police leaders.

In 1993, NJSACOP officials traveled to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to work with the Academy's Department of Behavioral Sciences and Leadership to adapt the fabled West Point model of command and leadership to the needs of law enforcement.

The result of this collaboration is the NJSACOP Command & Leadership Academy, a unique blend of theory and application taught over a 14-week period. 

Candidates with the greatest leadership potential are selected for this highly competitive program from municipal, county, state, and federal agencies from throughout the region. For a program of this caliber, law enforcement professionals who are selected make more than a casual commitment; it is an intensive, demanding course that will pay dividends for the participant and his or her agency for a lifetime.

Past graduates of the academy from our agency include Chief Thomas Fisher and Captain James Raniere.
