New Jersey program offers law enforcement job opportunities to those with special needs

The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office held a kickoff event Wednesday for a new program called "Growth Through Opportunity," which provides citizens with special needs citizens an opportunity to serve as interns with local municipalities. Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni said the goal is for the interns, called cadets, to learn valuable job skills and contribute to the diversity and inclusivity of the agencies. The pilot program is a collaboration between The Arc of New Jersey, The Arc of the US, and local police departments, including five Monmouth County law enforcement agencies. "We are excited to be the first county in New Jersey to pilot this program, which is being supported by grants from The Arc of the United States and The Arc of New Jersey," Gramiccioni said. "This program has huge potential for providing important job skills and a lifeline for our local citizens with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It also provides law enforcement agencies with an opportunity to learn from the cadets and to gain perspective on interacting with persons who have intellectual and developmental disabilities every day, in non-emergency situations." The Growth Through Opportunity program was founded by retired law enforcement Officer Travis Akins, who launched the program in November 2014 with the Roanoke Police Department in Virginia.
