I started my Law Enforcement career January 1987 and became interested in helping my Brother and Sister officers when I was elected to
the position of State Delegate in 1992 for the Hudson County Corrections Policemen’s Benevolent Associations Local #109. Serving in the capacity
as State Delegate I testified in front of the Senate Law & Public Safety Committee for Senate bill 1253, which gave all County Correction Officers
the powers of arrest beyond their territorial limits. Governor Florio signed this bill into law on August 9, 1993. I also testified in front of the Senate
Law & Public Safety Committee for Senate bill 474, which gave officers immunities and tort liability coverage when making a lawful arrest. Governor
Whitman signed this bill into law on June 20, 1996.
Organizational Activities:
I served in the position as state delegate for 10 years and was awarded, silver life membership to the New Jersey
State Policemen’s Benevolent Association. I am involved with several Police Organizations such as the Honor
Legion, Metropolitan New York & New Jersey Detectives Crime Clinic and serve on the executive board
for the New Jersey Law Enforcement Police Brotherhood Association. As one of the executive board
members I’ve had the pleasure to present law enforcement officers and law enforcement organizations donations to help
them during their time of hardship, below are just a few. |
All of our Law Enforcement Officers who serve in the many different Law Enforcement titles have a very tough and dangerous job when serving the taxpayers of
