On 8/31/2016 the GRPD Chief of police baton was passed on to Sgt. Dean Ackermann. Sgt. Ackermann has been part of law enforcement for 33 years. His first 3 years of Law enforcement was with NJ Transit before coming to Glen Rock in 1986.
My desire was to work in a community similar to the Pascack Valley area where I grew up and where I served as a Police Reserve. I considered Glen Rock to be the best of several communities which had offered me the opportunity at that time.
Since Joining Glen Rock, Sgt. Ackermann has moved up the rank to Detective in 1996 and Sergeant in 2006. Prior to his promotion, he was PBA president for over a decade.
IN addition to his role as Sergeant, he held a duel role of Patrol Tour Commander and Records Bureau Supervisor.
For over 20 years Sgt. Ackermann was also involved as the Domestic Violence Liaison Officer / Training Officer. During this time he watched the GRPD evolve from hand written reports to a 21st century state of the art headquarters.
“With the events of the past years, I had intended to retire at the end of 2016. However, the Mayor and Council’s recent actions to support an open environment based on expanded communication, training, and leadership skills, coupled with the collective urging of my co-workers, caused me to reconsider that decision. The importance of good sound police management’s relation to the quality of life in our community cannot be overemphasized. Effective leadership is the key to improving the administration of police service in Glen Rock and beyond. It became clear to me that my job was not done and I feel lucky that I have been selected to lead the Glen Rock Police Department during the next years toward those goals in a positive manner.”
During The swearing in of Sgt. Dean Ackermann and the 4 new GRPD officers, the Mayor and council took time to welcome the new members of the force. Mayor Packer, Councilwomans’ Mary Jane Surrago, Amy Martin and Kristine Morieko also took a moment to thank OIC Lt. Dan Dour for his years of service.
I look forward to working with our new Chief, Dean Ackermann, as we continue to bring both the Glen Rock Police Department and the Borough forward toward an increasingly brighter future.
Mayor Bruce Packer

Through the interview process we saw how dedicated Chief Ackermann is towards training in leadership and management skills – he is committed to it and will build an organization upon this Foundation. IT will serve Glen Rock well into the future and he is the individual to make this happen. I congratulate him tonight as he begins the next part of his journey with Glen Rock.
Councilman Skip Huisking
Dean Ackermann has proven himself throughout the recruitment process for the office of Chief to be very well qualified for the position. I wish him much success as he takes on the challenge of rebuilding the command staff of our police department, overseeing in-service training requirements for our current officers, while also providing guidance to our new officers who are attending the police academy and expected to join the department soon.
