About County Training Advisory Council (CTAC)

The primary goal of CTAC is to serve as a clearing house and sounding board for all training plans and programs in County Correctional facilities within the State of New Jersey. CTAC evaluates training needs and makes recommendations on training policies and procedures as they relate to county correctional facilities.

CTAC is comprised of training officers representing county correctional departments within all twenty-one (21) counties in New Jersey. Many members of CTAC are senior members of their respective departments who possess a great deal of correctional training related experience. The cumulative knowledge and experiences of this dedicated group of law enforcement professionals is shared at CTAC meetings resulting in state-of-the-art, timely, and dynamic training programs that respond to the ever changing needs of the corrections community. CTAC will be a tremendous training resource for correction officers as well as law enforcement in general in the future.

Further updates and information will be forthcoming, so please stop back again soon.
