Getting Behind the Scenes: Touring State-of-the-Art Law Enforcement and OEM Facilities


Bergen LEADS program participants visited the Bergen County Jail, hearing from Sheriff Anthony Cureton and staff along the tour. They also saw the behind-the-scenes operations of the Bergen County Office of Emergency Management in Mahwah, which covers a great deal of Bergen County's emergency response.


Students listened in on a lunchtime seminar and Q&A with the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office's Cpt. Tara Jennings and Paramus Police Department Chief Kenneth Ehrenberg -- each with decades of experience in their fields. These and more opportunities await you when you participate in our program.

What 'LEADS' Graduates Have to Say

“Bergen LEADS had a huge impact on my personal and professional life. As a ninth generation Bergen County resident, I thought I knew everything there was to know about the county. (The program) gave me a whole new view of it.”


-- Jeanne Martin, Executive Director of Meals on Wheels North Jersey

"I was able to connect with many different town officials, organizations, and other leaders within Bergen County to give me a better scope of how crucial it is to connect with the community. It helped me tremendously."



--Richard Biggs III Vice President: Market Manager with Valley Bank
