<strong>Cranford</strong> <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Department</strong> Training<br />
The <strong>Cranford</strong> <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Department</strong> is dedicated to serving our <strong>com</strong>munity with a standard of excellence<br />
in the performance of our duties. To that end, Chief Eric G. Mason is <strong>com</strong>mitted to the concept of<br />
continued training to enhance the skills and broaden the knowledge of all personnel thereby enabling<br />
them to handle the wide array of situations they encounter with confident professionalism.<br />
Our <strong>com</strong>munity is a dynamic, diverse and demanding environment necessitating recurrent training of<br />
our personnel to meet the challenges presented by changing laws and legal requirements, criminal<br />
tactics and trends, the rapid evolution of technology and the publics’ expectation of exceptional police<br />
assistance and services.<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> <strong>Police</strong> Officers receive their mandatory initial training and certification at the John H. Stamler<br />
<strong>Police</strong> Academy in Scotch Plains, New Jersey. Upon graduation, the new officer enters our Field<br />
Training Program wherein they are teamed with a more seasoned formally trained Field Training<br />
Officer (FTO). During the next 14 weeks, the FTO functions as a mentor guiding the new officer<br />
through the practical application of policy, procedure and tactics ac<strong>com</strong>plishing specific training tasks<br />
within the framework of response to actual calls and performance of duties in the <strong>com</strong>munity.<br />
The New Jersey Attorney General mandates all New Jersey law enforcement officers receive semiannual<br />
training in firearms, use of force and vehicular pursuit.<br />
Moreover, throughout their careers, all personnel attend further training updates, programs, seminars<br />
and in-house presentations in a broad spectrum of disciplines to ensure our individual and collective<br />
<strong>com</strong>petency is of the highest caliber in the service of our citizens.<br />
