Information you provide. We collect personal information only when you choose to provide it, such as when you submit a contact form, send us an email, or call the Academy. This may include your name, email address, phone number, agency or department, and the content of your message.

  • Your IP address and general location derived from it
  • Browser type, device type, and operating system
  • The pages you visit, the date and time of your visit, and the page that referred you

This information is used in aggregate to keep the website secure and running properly. We do not use it to identify individual visitors except where required to investigate misuse of the website or as required by law.

How We Use Information

  • Respond to your questions, requests, and correspondence
  • Provide information about Academy programs, courses, and training
  • Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website
  • Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, or security incidents
  • Comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

Cookies & Browser Storage

This website may use cookies and similar browser storage to support basic site functions, such as keeping administrators signed in and remembering display preferences. You can set your browser to refuse or delete cookies; however, some parts of the website may not work properly if you do.

Third-Party Services

To provide certain features, this website displays content from outside services. When a page loads this content, those services may receive technical information from your browser, such as your IP address, and may set their own cookies. Examples include:

The Academy is a public entity. Information you submit to us, including emails and form submissions, may become a government record and may be subject to disclosure under New Jersey’s Open Public Records Act (OPRA) or other applicable law, unless an exemption applies. Please do not send sensitive personal information, such as Social Security numbers or financial account numbers, through this website or by email.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information collected through this website. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
