Our Programs
No police agency in the world can succeed in its mission without strong partnerships with the community. Our numerous and diverse programs promote these partnerships while also forging strong bonds between our officers and the public they serve.
Phoenix Rising
The purpose of this initiative will focus on empowering the young women in our Glassboro community to become future leaders and will be all female instructor led.
Our goals are to develop each young woman by teaching them Resilience, Initiative, Service, Independence and how to be Noble and Goal-oriented through different guest speakers, engaging in group projects and participating in community service.
Each meeting will take place on the last Wednesday of each month. These meetings will focus on different topics including but not limited to creating and maintaining safe friendships and relationships, cyber security, self-defense, domestic violence, hormones and the challenges they bring, finance and budgeting and career/life goals.
They say that the Phoenix rises from the ashes stronger than the previous version of itself and we aim to show these women just what they are capable of.

Police Explorers
The Glassboro Police Department sponsors a Police Explorer Program for young adults ages 14 through 20 years old who are interested in Law Enforcement as a possible career. We are looking for new members of good moral character and a positive attitude.
The program includes a two-hour instruction period with active participation approximately one or two nights a month from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Instruction is related to police procedures, law, traffic control and related subjects. Eventually, members are permitted to perform some limited police related duties at special events. A ride-along program is also available to Explorers who are at least 16 (sixteen) years of age, have completed a minimum of 9 (nine) months prior service with the Post, have attended 75% of all post functions, successfully passed a written test and all ride-along preparatory training.

Junior Police Academy
The Junior Police Academy will cover a multitude of topics, including Police Morals and Ethics, Motor Vehicle Law, DWI Enforcement, Teens and Drug Use, Crime Scene and Evidence Processing, K-9, SWAT, Bicycle Patrol, and more. We will begin each day with an hour of light physical training and military drill.
Police Athletic League
P.A.L is a non- profit organization that offers children the opportunity to participate in youth sports and other career building activities. We will provide our participants with dedicated and experienced coaching, teaching and mentoring. This program will not only teach the aspects of each sport/ activity, but also a deeper understanding of maintaining the highest standards of excellence in promoting good sportsmanship, teamwork and respect. Whenever you have young people in the community playing, working and interacting with law enforcement, the entire community will benefit.
Police Chaplain Program
The Autism Registration Program that is FREE and CONFIDENTIAL. A form has been created so that anyone can register a loved one who has been diagnosed with Autism. The information will be added to our database and readily available for our officers to review when handling a call for service that involves the registered person. This will help tremendously with “need to know” information when trying to communicate with the person such as whether they are verbal/non-verbal, how to best communicate with them, and emergency contact information. Being able to quickly broadcast information to other agencies should we be trying to locate missing persons is paramount when time is of the essence.
If you are interested in representing the Glassboro Police Department as a Chaplain please contact Deputy Chief William McCain wmccain@glassboropd.org
