GLASSBORO - A law enforcement career fair Saturday seeks to increase diversity on local police forces and other agencies.

Recruiters from police departments in Gloucester, Cumberland and Salem counties will be in the Rowan University Student Center ballroom in Glassboro from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, accepting resumes and discussing career opportunities.

The career fair is part of a 2014 initiative with the prosecutor's office and Gloucester County Police Chiefs Association to help local law enforcement agencies better reflect the diversity of the communities they serve.
