CO jumps from GWB after chase, crash: Is there help?

JerryD — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:44:22 GMT

The man who jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge after he crashed his car while being chased by Palisades Interstate Parkway Police was a New York state corrections officer from Middletown, N.Y. who'd argued with his earlier that morning, a law enforcement source told CLIFFVIEWPILOT.COM.

The unidentified officer's body was seen floating in the river after the 9:30 a.m. leap, but authorities had been unable to find it as of last night.

Fort Lee police had already joined the Thursday morning chase when the officer smashed his Pontiac into another car on the New York side of the bridge, a law enforcement source with direct knowledge of the incident told CLIFFVIEW PILOT. READ MORE....

Tip of the cap to NJ's Honor Legion

JerryD — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:30:41 GMT

It's truly an honor to be part of New Jersey's Honor Legion, a charitable organization of nearly 3,000 active and retired law enforcement officers from throughout the state. To be eligible, you had to have risked your life to save another or been in imminent danger from an armed adversary. So how did a regular Joey like me, from North Bergen, end up at one of their events?

Retired Detective David Carbone from Brooklyn North Homicide was there. He personally told me stories from being a first respondent at the twin towers on 9/11. His lungs are diseased from breathing in the smoke and ash; his body became riddled with cancer, his entire prostate gone.

And yet, not a word from anyone in government to help with his medical bills. David has a great attitude and positive lookout on life. I asked how he felt, and he said if it happened again, hed respond the same way.

How do you thank a guy like that?

Bob Maras was there. Bob is a retired Viet Nam vet and Chairman of the Veterans Committee. Now he travels the country retrieving body parts to be examined for forensic evidence. READ MORE....

Anyone listening on SPEN that can confirm?

Marlboro Police Department faces possible reorganization

By ALESHA WILLIAMS BOYD FREEHOLD BUREAU November 16, 2009

MARLBORO The township is looking to eliminate its deputy police chief's post and create special posts to free up officers for duty in response to the state's 2008 recommendations for the once-troubled Police Department.
Police Chief Bruce Hall said the move would help keep more experienced officers on the road, while lower-paid special officers would handle lesser duties.

With elimination of the deputy chief's position, held by Eric Landau, and the attrition of other higher-ranking officers' positions, the township is hopeful the reorganization could save about $200,000.

The Township Council on Thursday introduced an ordinance to make the departmental changes. A public hearing will be held Dec. 10.

The township is proposing to hire 10 special Class I officers. They are able to provide security in weather and other emergency situations, but cannot carry weapons. It would hire four Class II officers, who provide courtroom and other security functions, Hall said. The township has yet to determine the special officers' salaries, he said.

Deputy Chief Landau, 47, will be retiring at the end of the year. His post would be eliminated as of January, township officials said. Hall said Landau is currently using some accrued vacation and personal leave time. The chief would not say how long Landau has been on leave or whether the use of that leave was part of his retirement agreement.

As Landau's and other higher-ranking posts are eliminated through retirements and attrition, Mayor Jonathan Hornik said new hires' salaries would be significantly less. Hornik said three other officers have retired, and there may be more to come, although he said the township is not pushing its senior officers to leave.

"While under New Jersey law, you're not allowed to encourage early retirement, we do acknowledge the fact that when a senior officer making over $100,000 a year leaves and we rehire a well-trained junior officer at half that (salary), it makes sense for the taxpayers," Hornik said.

Landau was hired as deputy chief when the township created the post in 2006 under former Police Chief Robert Holmes Sr. Holmes was blasted in a 2008 state Department of Community Affairs report for running a poorly organized department, creating an environment of favoritism and not taking significant steps to save funds, among other allegations.

The former chief is now facing trial on charges of sexual assaulting a girl between 2005 and 2007, when she was between ages 12 and 14.

"For reasons of economy, the actual size of this organization just doesn't require that (deputy chief) level of command," Hall said, adding that the changes satisfy some of the report recommendations.

Landau was unavailable for comment.

This goes out to everyone taking the H.S. sergeants test. Good luck on it.

I'm nervous taking it because I never got a reading list. I heard they are giving the test just to promote certain people. Do you think the two guys caught napping at hospital details have a chance of getting promoted?

Sparta Councilman Brian Brady, who said he would not vote now to hold a public auction for the sale of the two new licenses because of the weak economy, didnt think Spartas liquor store owners need to fear the increased competition the new licenses would bring.

"I dont think it will affect their businesses. They have a different type of customer and they have a loyal following," he said.

Hey everyone,

I received a letter today from State Corrections, it wasn't the little blue cert like I've gotten on previous civil service tests. It was a white letter stating my rank# and asking me to fill out all of my contact info. I have 14 days to send it back to NJDOC. I'm not really sure what it is and would appreciate any help. Also, I got an 88.2 (non-vet) on the test. Thanks!
