GLEN ROCK, NJ – In a proactive step to enhance local policing strategies and counter complex global threats, leaders from the Glen Rock Police Department (GRPD) recently participated in a key international law enforcement conference in New York City.
Chief Dean Ackermann and Captain Mike Trover had the privilege of attending the NYPD’s 18th Operation Sentry Conference on November 6th at 1 Police Plaza. The event serves as a crucial forum for intelligence sharing and strategic planning among agencies worldwide.
Strengthening the Front Lines Against Global Threats
Operation Sentry is a vital, annual conference that brought together nearly 200 law enforcement agencies from around the globe. Organized by the NYPD and supported by the New York City Police Foundation, the conference is designed to facilitate the exchange of best practices on a wide array of critical security issues.
The GRPD leaders focused on insights related to threats that are often described as “numerous and unpredictable,” including:
-
Countering Criminal Organizations: Developing advanced strategies to dismantle sophisticated criminal enterprises.
-
Securing Major Events: Planning and executing security measures for large public gatherings and high-profile events.
-
Counterterrorism: Exchanging intelligence and strategies to address evolving terrorism threats.
“Operation Sentry plays a vital role in connecting law enforcement partners globally, ensuring we can confront these evolving challenges together,” the GRPD noted in a statement.
The Power of Collaboration
For a suburban police department like Glen Rock, participation in a global summit organized by one of the world’s most experienced law enforcement agencies, the NYPD, provides indispensable value. The collaboration ensures that local protocols and training are informed by the most current global intelligence, ultimately enhancing safety for Bergen County residents.
Chief Ackermann and Captain Trover extended their sincere thanks to Commissioner Jessica Tisch and the Operation Sentry team for their continued commitment to collaboration and public safety. By staying connected to global security discussions, the Glen Rock Police Department remains at the forefront of protecting its community from both local and international threats.

Nice junket.
They should be worried about the types of crime that actually happen in Glen Rock.
Sounds fishy to me…
Professional development conferences do play an important role across every industry, and policing is no exception. Even small-town departments face the same evolving challenges as large metropolitan agencies: cybercrime, mental-health-related calls, community-trust issues, recruitment shortages, and increasingly complex legal landscapes. Did Ridgewood PD send someone?
Not like a day trip to NYC is a budget buster!
