The New Jersey Civil Service Commission Office of Diversity Programs presents Diversity in Law Enforcement Forum

Deirdre L. Webster Cobb, Esq. Chair/Chief Executive Officer New Jersey Civil Service Commission My colleagues and I are proud to host this Diversity in Law Enforcement Forum with the other key stakeholders throughout state and local government as well as various affinity groups. We are truly honored by this impressive array of panelists, discussants, and speakers that will address recruitment, hiring and retention practices to ensure that our law enforcement agencies reflect the diversity of our great state. Throughout my career, I have seen that the best and most successful organizations are often the ones that have a strong and persistent commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. These organizations consistently attract the best talent, by investing in and retaining a world-class workforce. We welcome you to join us for this important forum which will show you how New Jersey is working diligently to make the state stronger and fairer with its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
