South Brunswick 911 Communication Center Receives Highest Certification
For the first time in history, the South Brunswick Police Department 911 Communication Center has achieved statewide accreditation. Chief Raymond Hayducka said, “This new accreditation ranking comes after months of evaluation and an in-person inspection by the New Jersey Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission. It took a lot of work to ensure that we are meeting the highest standards”. Chief Hayducka credited the entire South Brunswick Communication team for working together to enhance the department’s policies, procedures, and practices. Chief Hayducka specifically recognized Public Safety Telecommunication Supervisor (PSTS) Robert Carinci for all his effort. “In his 9 years as head of the communication center he has overseen the unit’s expansion to cover an additional community, increased staffing, expanded call handling capacity, improved team morale, and now achieved accreditation. This is excellent work,” said Chief Hayducka.
In 2022, the South Brunswick Police Communication Center handled 112,068 calls for police, fire, and EMS in both South Brunswick and Cranbury. There were 23,953 emergency 911 calls placed to the center in 2022. “Our communication center is the first voice people in trouble hear when they call for help. It is the voice that sends them help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It can be extremely challenging to listen to all those calls and direct the help they need. Our team of 12 full-time public safety telecommunicators and 2 part-time, do a tremendous job day every day,” said Chief Hayducka.
In order to receive State Accreditation from the New Jersey Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission through the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police, the department had to meet the criteria of 140 topics in 49 categories. These categories covered everything from the hiring process to training to call handling procedures. The examination reviewed training requirements, record keeping, emergency procedures, as well as audit and inspection procedures. It was a comprehensive review and just confirmed all the outstanding work we are doing. Commissioners remarked on how well the communication center has handled the 26% increase in calls in the past 7 years.
Chief Hayducka said, “The real goal of achieving the accreditation ranking is to make sure we are providing the best service to our community. Our public safety telecommunicators are the resource for everyone in our community. I am proud of this ranking and the work of our public safety telecommunicators.”
