FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT
CHIEF KEVIN SAUTER
COLTS NECK PD
HONORING THEIR SACRIFICE
For the past 30 years New Jersey law enforcement has gathered to honor fellow officers
that have given their lives in the line of duty. This year’s Law Enforcement Memorial
Service will be held on Tuesday, May 19th at the Great Auditorium in Ocean Grove at
11:00 a.m.
It is our duty to stand together and support the families of our fallen brothers. Our duty to share their grief. Our
duty to share their cherished memories of lost loved ones. Our duty to let police survivors know that our fraternity
will always be here for them. Our duty to honor the dedication to service and community that these officers
exhibited while they lived.
Please plan now to attend the Memorial Service with members of your department. Filling the Great Auditorium
with uniforms is a moving way to show our respect and gratitude. It is the least we can do for officers that gave
so much and for the families they left behind.
I look forward to seeing you at our April 2nd briefing.
God Bless and be safe,
Chief Kevin Sauter

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT
MITCHELL C. SKLAR
AN EVENT TO REMEMBER—TO ENSURE WE NEVER FORGET
The New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police and the New Jersey Police
Chiefs Foundation are hosting the annual statewide Law Enforcement Memorial
Service for police officers who have died in the performance of their duties in the
State of New Jersey. On this day we honor the past heroes who have given their
lives so courageously. We pay tribute and remember valiant men and women and
reflect on their contributions to our state and our communities.
The Memorial Service will take place on Tuesday, May 19, 2015 beginning at 11:00 a.m.
As is customary, the Attorney General has been invited to present remarks on behalf of law enforcement throughout our state. The President of the NJSACOP presides over the service and serves as
master of ceremonies.
The co-sponsors of this program include the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police, New
Jersey Police Chiefs Foundation, New Jersey State Police, New Jersey State Troopers Fraternal
Association, New Jersey State Troopers NCO Association, New Jersey Fraternal Order of Police, New
Jersey Policemen’s Benevolent Association, New Jersey’s County Prosecutors Association, Sheriffs
Association of New Jersey, Federal Bureau of Investigation-Newark Division, FBI National Academy
Associates-New Jersey Chapter, New Jersey Office of the Attorney General, New Jersey COPS/Garden
State Survivors, New Jersey State Police Survivors of the Triangle, U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration-New Jersey Division, National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives-New
Jersey, New Jersey Police Academy Directors Association, United States Attorney’s Office, New Jersey
Chaplains Association, United States Marshals Service, and the New Jersey Department of
Corrections.
This tribute is the first Memorial Service of its kind in the United States. As always, we hold this
service at the National Historic Site of the Great Auditorium in Ocean Grove, New Jersey. This
magnificent 5,500-seat auditorium is most fitting for our Memorial Service not only for its spiritual
significance, but also for its sense of history and inspiration throughout its century of existence.
All Chiefs are encouraged to attend this important and moving service and to encourage and enable
as many of your officers as possible to attend as well. Additionally, in addition to the families of the
survivors, the service is open to police families, friends and the public at large.
Now, more than ever, your support of your colleagues in law enforcement is critical—and appreciated.
We look forward to seeing you in Ocean Grove.

From the NJSACOP Monthly Meeting Minutes
100 Years Ago – April 1915
The NJSACOP Monthly State Chiefs Meeting for April 1915 was held in Newark, NJ. Following the routine order of business, including approval of the minutes of the previous
month’s meeting and the Treasurer’s Report, Chief Monahan reported for the Executive
Board “that one bill had passed both houses, and was in a fair way to become law.” He
then handed a copy of the bill to the Secretary with instructions to read the text to the
membership.
“AN ACT RELATING TO THE TENURE OF OFFICE OF CHIEF OF POLICE AND OF POLICEMEN
IN ANY MUNICIPALITY IN THIS STATE GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OR
IMPROVEMENT COMMISSION”
The Secretary then went on to read the entire text of the bill to the membership.
Chief William O’Neill
East Orange PD
Thereafter the all unfinished business was “laid over to the next meeting” so that the election of officers for the
Association could take place. Chief Tolen presented Chief Keily for President, and moved that the election be
made by acclimation. “This being done, President Keily, was escorted to the Chair, by former President
Monahan. He thanked the Association for the confidence, they had placed in him, and said he would do all in his
power, for the good and welfare of the Association.” Chief Michael O’Connell of New Brunswick was elected
Treasurer, and Chief William O’Neill of East Orange was elected Secretary. The office of Vice President was left
open until the following meeting.
75 Years Ago—April 1940
The April 1940 State Chiefs Meeting was held at police headquarters in Nutley, New Jersey. The first order of
business was the induction of a new member, Chief James Walker of the Paterson Police Department.
A communication was then read “from Edwin C. Sloat, Secretary of the Monmouth County Police Chiefs Association, Inc. dated March 28th, advising of the formation of this association and the officers being President Harold
A. Davidson, Vice President Winslow M. Brackett, Secretary Edwin C. Sloat, and Treasurer Fred A. Wardell.”
The Treasurer’s Report was read to the membership, indicating a checking account balance of $885.38.
Chief Roff then reported for the Legislative Committee that a bill, “sponsored by the Civil Service, making it
mandatory that a member of the police or fire department must have at least three years service before being
made Chief is being well supported.”
25 Years Ago—April 1990
The NJSACOP Monthly State Chiefs Meeting for April 1990 was conducted at the Clarion Hotel in East Windsor.
Following the opening prayer and flag salute, James Arena, Director of the NJ Office of Highway Traffic Safety,
addressed the meeting, and “spoke of the extra monies the division will have to allocate to the police.”
The following new member applications were presented and approved by the membership:
Chief Harry Whelan, Brielle PD
Chief Richard Franceschi, Ramsey PD

The Executive Director reported that “three police officers had died this year and they will be remembered at the
Memorial Service.” 1st Vice President Chief Clifford Maurer reported that there was a chart available for the
seating at the Installation Banquet to be held at the 78th Annual NJSACOP conference. He also reported that the
registration cut-off date is May 15th, after which there will be a late fee imposed.
As the final order of business, NJSACOP President Chief Anthony Parenti “made mention of the loss of [Union
County] Prosecutor John Stamler and how the Association will mourn his death.”

Police Officer Reinaldo Arocha, Jr., Newark Police Department. End of Watch: Tuesday,
September 16, 2014. Police Officer Reinaldo Arocha suffered a fatal heart attack shortly after he and
another officer had to subdue an emotionally disturbed person who was being taken into custody. He
had returned to his patrol car to complete paperwork when a tow truck driver found him
unresponsive near the intersection of North Munn Avenue and Mountainview Avenue at
approximately 7:15 am. Responding units and a nurse performed CPR until he was transported to a
local hospital. He was pronounced dead approximately 30 minutes later. Officer Arocha had served

Police Officer Christopher M. Goodell, Waldwick Police Department. End of Watch: Thursday, July

of Route 17, running radar, when the semi swerved onto the shoulder and collided with the back of
the patrol car. The patrol car was then pushed into a retaining wall. An off duty deputy from out of

guard. He severely beat the guard and stole his service weapon, then waited for responding
officers to arrive with the intention to ambush them. Detective Santiago and his partner had just
pulled into the parking lot as the man exited the building and opened fire on them without
warning. Detective Santiago was struck in the head before he was able to exit from the patrol
car’s passenger seat. Other responding officers returned fire and killed the subject. Detective
Santiago had graduated from the academy only six months prior to the incident. He is survived by
his mother and stepfather.
All members of the law enforcement community, family, friends,
the press, and the public at large are welcome and greatly
encouraged to attend. No RSVP is required.

16 Agencies Achieve Accreditation and Reaccreditation Status
The New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police is pleased to announce the accomplishments of
eight agencies that recently achieved accredited status. One agency was awarded their second reaccreditation and seven others were reaccredited for the first time. Accreditation is a method that
assists law enforcement agencies in appraising and enhancing their overall performance. The
foundation of accreditation is based on the adoption of standards containing a clear statement of
professional objectives. The eight newly accredited agencies join one hundred thirty two agencies that
have been accredited thus far in New Jersey. Accreditation Manager Harry J. Delgado, Ed.S. stated
that "NJSACOP Accreditation is the standard of excellence in policing in New Jersey."
At the March 19th meeting of the NJSACOP Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission, the Stanhope
Police Department, Kinnelon Police Department, Township of Union Police Department, City of
Paterson Police Department, North Haledon Police Department, Saddle River Police Department,
Rockaway Borough Police Department and Ocean Gate Police Department were approved for initial
accreditation. The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Department, Wall Township Police Department, Butler
Police Department, Sea Girt Borough Police Department, Cape May Police Department, Deal Police
Department, Nutley Township Police Department, and Eatontown Police Department earned reaccreditation status, meaning they were initially accredited at least three years ago and continue to meet
accreditation standards.
Attaining accreditation and reaccreditation represents a significant professional achievement. As Sea
Girt Borough Police Chief Kevin Davenport noted, “The Sea Girt Police Department has embraced this
elite process and recognizes this as a blueprint to success and professionalism within our agency.”
The voluntary process requires the participating agencies to conduct a thorough analysis of its current
operations to determine how to meet the standards and objectives of accreditation status. Once the
procedures are in place a team of trained, independent assessors verifies that applicable standards
were implemented. Chief Douglas Scheer, Rockaway Borough PD explained, “The process was long
and arduous but has helped us to achieve a higher level of professionalism. We look forward to
continuing our high standards and serving our community with pride.” The process can take over a
year to achieve and can lead to changes being made to the day-to-day operations. Chief Reece Fisher
of Ocean Gate PD is “very proud of [Ocean Gate Police Department’s] officers and employees who
adapted quickly and maintained a high degree of enthusiasm with the internal changes during the
Accreditation process. Without the tedious work ethic of the Accreditation Manager and the support of
the Governing Body this may not have been possible.”
Butler Chief Ciro Chimento believes that “The accreditation process allows us to be a much more
professional and efficient agency in order to better serve our community. Constant strides toward
improving the Butler Police Department will certainly aid our relationships with our community
partners. The accreditation process is a vital part of those improvements.” The accreditation and
reaccreditation process can be a strenuous one, but by working cohesively, the participating agencies
can attain accreditation status. Eatontown Chief Mike Goldfarb summarizes, “The Eatontown Police
Department is proud to be honored with our re-accreditation status from the NJSACOP. This was truly
a team effort as all of our personnel believe in the program and have worked hard to attain this
status. Knowing that we are operating under the best practices and policies has earned us the
confidence of our residents and business owners, as well as the continued support of our elected
officials. It also affords us the knowledge that officer safety is paramount in all that we do.”

Each year, the NJSACOP convenes the organization’s largest and most important event,
The Annual Training Conference and Police/Security Expo.
The Conference combines prominent speakers and training professionals, high-profile incident reviews,
and valuable leadership insights for the police executive with social functions,
highlighted by the Installation Banquet.
The Annual Conference is also a time to learn, share ideas, establish a communications
network, and renew friendships.
The emotional high point of the Installation Banquet is the NJ Police Chiefs Foundation Valor Awards,
presented to law enforcement officers and civilians who have gone over and above the call of duty to
help their fellow citizens at the peril of their own safety or even life.
The Annual Police/Security Expo is one of the largest law enforcement-related tradeshows in North
America. Over 650 vendors and 7,500 attendees converge on the Atlantic City
Convention Center for two days to view and try out the latest in tools, technology,
hardware and software for the police and security professional.
The Annual Training Conference and Police/Security Expo Agenda and
Registration Information can be found on the next pages of this brochure.

Registered Chiefs, Spouses and registered Guests
(Pre-registration required)
Chief Dan Linskey was the incident commander for the Boston Police Department at the 2013 Boston Marathon.
He led the response of the Boston Marathon Bombings that resulted in the deaths of three people and injured
more than 264 others.
After two pressure cooker bombs exploded near the marathon’s finish line, Chief Linskey worked with the first
responders to evacuate the injured, secure the scene and stabilize the city. In the following days, he oversaw
the Boston Police investigation to identify and apprehend the individuals responsible in what would become one
of the largest and most complicated law enforcement efforts ever.
When the identified terrorist suspects initiated a gunfight with police officers in Watertown, Massachusetts on
April 19, Chief Linskey was the first commander on the scene. While one suspect was killed during the
exchange, the other escaped, leading Chief Linskey to oversee an unprecedented manhunt and lockdown of the
metropolitan Boston area that led to the second suspect’s capture later that day.
Chief Linskey’s presentation will take the audience member on a leadership journey through the April 15, 2013
terrorist attack on the Boston Marathon. The presentation starts with the planning and training exercises that
helped mitigate the loss of life on Boylston Street. The leadership challenges in the immediate response to the
bombings as well as those developed during the investigation and subsequent manhunt for the terrorists. The
program will develop many lessons that can be used to help prevent loss of life during other catastrophic events
while at the same time giving the audience member a look into the emotional toll suffered by, and the heroic
actions of, Boston’s First Responders.

Reawakening the Nation
Law Enforcement and Race:
FBI Director’s Hard Truths
By Vincent J. Bove, CPP
The words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. could have headlined
the timely address recently delivered by FBI Director James B.
Comey at Georgetown University on Lincoln’s birthday, February 12, 2015, “We must learn to live together as brothers or
we will all perish together as fools.”
The FBI Director urged law enforcement and citizens to face
the “hard truths” about the disconnect in places not only like
Ferguson, MO., and New York city, but all over America.
Director Comey emphasized that lethal encounters including
Michael Brown and Eric Garner—both African-Americans, followed by protests nationwide and the assassination of NYPD FBI Director James B. Comey speaking at Georgetown University on
February 12, 2015. (Courtesy FBI)
Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, now have police and
community relations at a crossroads.
“We can choose to have an open and honest discussion about what our relationship is today—what it should be,
what it could be, and what it needs to be—if we took more time to better understand each other,” Comey said.
The FBI Director also made his appreciation for the efforts of dedicated law enforcement throughout America crystal
clear, “Let me be transparent about my affection for cops. When you dial 911, whether you are white or black, the
cops come, and they come quickly, and they come quickly whether they are white or black. That’s what cops do, in
addition to all of the other hard and difficult and dangerous and frightening things that they do. They respond to
homes in the middle of the night where a drunken father, wielding a gun, is threatening his wife and children. They
pound up the back stairs of an apartment building, not knowing whether the guys behind the door they are about to
enter are armed, or high, or both.”
Law Enforcement, Race: Renewal Requires Truth
Comey’s call to understanding through discussion is complemented by his example of visiting FBI officers throughout the United States and having audiences with staff, law enforcement partners, community leaders, and citizens.
It was my privilege to be a guest of the FBI Newark Division’s November 14, 2014 audience with Comey. I was impressed with his candor, respectful listening, and exemplifying community policing by his personal rapport with attendees.
During his Georgetown University address, Comey was truthful about the scandalous side of law enforcement including bias a century ago against Irish immigrants—from whom Comey descended—and the improper surveillance
of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
These types of injustices are a reason Comey requires all new FBI agents and analysts to visit Dr. King’s memorial
in Washington, as well as the Holocaust Museum, to inspire diversity and respect for human rights.
An Honest Assessment:
During his address, Comey stressed the following:
 Law enforcement overwhelmingly attracts people who want to help all people.
 Cynicism can influence their decisions, and initiatives must take place for minority communities to be enhanced
through role models, improved education, and employment opportunities. These are essential for avoiding a life
of crime and imprisonment.
 Law enforcement must work—in the words of NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton—to really see each other. We

Continued from previous page
must simply see the people we serve.
 Citizens also need to see law enforcement as people and to appreciate the risks and dangers they encounter.
The community needs to understand law enforcement challenges and give the respect needed so they can do
their work.
Community Policing: Critical to America
Throughout his address and most importantly his actions, Comey personified community policing immortalized in Sir
Robert Peel’s Nine Principles:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
The basic mission for which police exist is to prevent crime and disorder as an alternative to the repression of crime
and disorder by military force and severity of legal punishment.
The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon public approval of police existence, actions, behavior
and the ability of the police to secure and maintain public respect.
The police must secure the willing cooperation of the public in voluntary observance of the law to be able to secure
and maintain public respect.
The degree of cooperation of the public that can be secured diminishes, proportionately, the necessity for the use of
physical force and compulsion in achieving police objectives.
The police seek and preserve public favor, not by catering to public opinion, but by constantly demonstrating absolutely impartial service to the law, in complete independence of policy, and without regard to the justice or injustice of
the substance of individual laws; by ready offering of individual sacrifice in protecting and preserving life.
The police should use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order only
when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient to achieve police objectives; and police
should use only the minimum degree of physical force which is necessary on any particular occasion for achieving a
police objective.
The police at all times should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the
police are the public and that the public are the police; the police are the only members of the public who are paid to
give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interest of the community welfare.
The police should always direct their actions toward their functions and never appear to usurp the powers of the judiciary by avenging individuals or the state, or authoritatively judging guilt or punishing the guilty.
The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, not the visible evidence of police action in dealing
with it.
Justice Department Findings
On Wednesday, March 4, 2015, less than one month after Director Comey’s Georgetown University remarks, The
Justice Department (DOJ) announced the findings of its two civil rights investigations related to Ferguson, Missouri.
The DOJ found that the Ferguson Police Department (FPD) engaged in a pattern or practice of conduct that violates
the First, Fourth, and 14th Amendments of the Constitution. The DOJ also announced that the evidence examined in
its independent, federal investigation into the fatal shooting of Michael Brown does not support federal civil rights
charges against Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson.
“As detailed in our report, this investigation found a community that was deeply polarized, and where deep distrust
and hostility often characterized interactions between police and area residents,” said Attorney General Eric Holder.
“Our investigation showed that Ferguson police officers routinely violate the Fourth Amendment in stopping people
without reasonable suspicion, arresting them without probable cause, and using unreasonable force against them.
Now that our investigation has reached its conclusion, it is time for Ferguson’s leaders to take immediate, wholesale
and structural corrective action. The report we have issued and the steps we have taken are only the beginning of a
necessarily resource-intensive and inclusive process to promote reconciliation, to reduce and eliminate bias, and to
bridge gaps and build understanding.”
The department found that the FPD has a pattern or practice of:
 Conducting stops without reasonable suspicion and arrests without probable cause in violation of the Fourth
Amendment;
 Interfering with the right to free expression in violation of the First Amendment; and
 Using unreasonable force in violation of the Fourth Amendment.
Continued on next page
The New Jersey Police Chief Magazine | April 2015
Continued from previous page
The department found that Ferguson Municipal Court has a pattern or
practice of:
 Focusing on revenue over public safety, leading to court practices that violate
the 14th Amendment’s due process and equal protection requirements.
 Court practices exacerbating the harm of Ferguson’s unconstitutional police
practices and imposing particular hardship upon Ferguson’s most vulnerable
residents, especially upon those living in or near poverty. Minor offenses can
generate crippling debts, result in jail time because of an inability to pay and
result in the loss of a driver’s license, employment, or housing.
The department found a pattern or practice of racial bias in both the FPD
and municipal court:
 The harms of Ferguson’s police and court practices are borne disproportionately by African Americans and that this disproportionate impact is avoidable.
 Ferguson’s harmful court and police practices are due, at least in part to intentional discrimination, as demonstrated by direct evidence of racial bias and
stereotyping about African Americans by certain Ferguson police and municipal
court officials.1
Abraham Lincoln, February 5, 1865
(Public Domain)
Lincoln, Catalyst: Police, Race Renewal
Comey wisely delivered his address on Lincoln’s birthday, whom I believe is the pre-eminent catalyst for America’s
police-race renewal.
Through the prophetic words of Lincoln’s Gettysburg address proclaiming “a new nation, conceived in liberty, and
dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal,” America must rise to the occasion.
America’s future demands honesty about all aspects of our law enforcement and race history. Yet, we live with
confidence that our destiny of reawakening the nation—inspired by the example of Abraham Lincoln—will be ignited by moral courage, preserving integrity, and transformational leadership.

The NJSACOP ACE Program is a revisiting of the former Certified Chief Law Enforcement Executive Program (CCLEEP) with a new
lean towards accrediting the individual police leader and assuring that experience, formal education and management training,
continuing education, and collaboration are formally assessed against a recommended standard. The goal is to give surety of
merit in our state association’s formal gauging of effective police leadership through a model of peer review.
The NJSACOP ACE Certification Program directly encourages New Jersey’s law enforcement executives to attain sanctioned
benchmarks in pursuit of a recommended standard for police leadership that are measurable and attainable. By offering proof of
these standards to NJSACOP Assessors, individual police leaders can attain NJSACOP Accredited Chief/Command Executive (ACE)
Certification Status.
It is the policy of the NJSACOP to promote professional competence, continued education career development among all members of law enforcement and in particularly amongst our leaders. In order to achieve this goal the NJSACOP encourages current,
future and retired chiefs and police executives to participate in the ACE Certification Program.

NJSACOP Brings International Expertise to New Jersey
Two Day Professional Development Training Presented by Dr. Laurence Alison
The New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police held two special presentations by Dr. Laurence Alison,
professor in the department of Psychological Sciences at the University of Liverpool [United Kingdom]. These
presentations are a part of the Association’s continuing effort to provide police executives in our state with ongoing,
cutting-edge professional development and education. NJSACOP plays a leading role in the advancement of the law
enforcement profession and thereby provides programs and services that police executives can use to improve
agency performance and transparency, and ensure adherence to accepted best practices.
The first presentation featured Professor Alison’s research on expertise, decision inertia, and the use of deliberate
practice to enhance performance. The presentation, “Decision Making in High Risk, High Uncertainty Environments:
Guess, Gut and Grip,” is relevant to those tasked with responding to or training those who respond to critical and
major incidents. The session covered decision making in critical incidents with a focus on expert performance,
decision inertia, accountability and goal directed action. Dr. Alison covered the full spectrum of responders, from
operational to tactical to strategic as well as the vertical and horizontal communication paths between them;
communication up and down the chain of command, as well as multi-agency communication across each level.
The second presentation, “Advanced Psychological Interviews of Suspects and High Value Targets,” involved cutting
-edge insight into the most current thinking and evidence based practice on what works in interviewing high value
targets and suspects. Dr. Alison provided a clear definition of rapport and the requisite interpersonal skills to
minimize resistance and maximize intelligence and evidence yield. Dr. Alison utilized videos and self-assessments to
engage the attendees and demonstrate his points.
Dr. Laurence Alison is a professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at the University of Liverpool. He has
20 years of experience working with Law Enforcement, Security Services and associated emergency service
personnel. He has served as key psychological advisor for over 400 operational debriefs including “7/7” London
bombings, the Boxing Day Tsunami, planning for the London Olympics, the Sharm El Sheik bombings and the
poisoning of Alexander Litvienko, and has delivered training in critical incident decision making and advanced
interviewing in the UK, US, China, Japan, Australia and across Europe. He has presented for the NJSACOP at both
the Senior Leaders Seminars at Wroxton in 2013 and Bramshill in 2014.

2015 New Jersey & National Law Enforcement Challenge Competition
By Chief Michael Morris (Ret.),
NJ Department of Highway Traffic Safety Law Enforcement Liaison
It’s time to consider and begin preparing for the New Jersey Law Enforcement Challenge (NJLEC) &
National Law Enforcement Challenge (NLEC) competitions. The Law Enforcement Challenge is a Traffic
Safety Initiative that examines local law enforcement’s effectiveness in the areas of Impaired Driving,
Occupant Protection, Speed awareness, Crash Reduction and other local traffic safety problem solving
efforts. While the NLEC is formatted as a competition, it is also a “Blue Print” for a successful traffic
safety program in your community. A fillable PDF application is available for download from the NLEC
website at www.theiacp.org/NLEC that will enter your agency in both competitions. The single submission
streamlines the process by eliminating the need to complete separate applications. On the IACP website
you will also find a How-To-Guide along with a variety of other resource materials and model
applications to assist you. The PDF application and all supporting documentation should be submitted via
email to [email protected] no later than May 1, 2015. The Challenge continues to be an excellent
opportunity for your agency to receive recognition as a leader in traffic safety enforcement and
education. Last year, New Jersey winners selected from over $10,000 in donated prizes including a Speed
Measuring Sign and Laser Speed Measuring device. For additional questions, you may contact Chief
Christopher Wagner at [email protected] and/or Chief Michael Morris (Ret.), NJ LEL at [email protected]. The New Jersey Law Enforcement Challenge Awards Recognition Ceremony will be held
at the October State Chiefs Briefing on October 1, 2015.
2015 National Distracted Driving Enforcement
April 10-15, 2015 [Distracted Driving Prevention]
In recognition of April’s National Distracted Driving Awareness Month,
NHTSA has planned a number of activities. We are also kicking off its
second national highly visible enforcement campaign for distracted driving:
U Drive. U Text. U Pay., which is supported by English and Spanish
television, radio and digital advertising. NHTSA has also developed a robust
social media strategy designed to raise public awareness about the
consequences of texting and driving. The focus is on the idea that “If you’re
texting, you’re not driving.” We anticipate that this message will engage the target audience of men and
women 18-34 (slightly skewed toward women) with creative and persuasive messaging on NHTSA social
media channels and their media partners.

New Jersey Chiefs of Police Partners with CARFAX
Good news! CARFAX is partnered with the NJ Chiefs of Police to provide an integrated solution for law enforcement
agencies. Your agency can get free, unlimited access to the CARFAX suite of Investigative Tools through our data
exchange program.
POWERFUL INVESTIGATIVE TOOLS
 VIN Alert—Monitor vehicles and get email notifications when there is activity reported to CARFAX.
 Vehicle History—Search, scan or view vehicle history on your desktop or mobile device.
 Crash Center—Search our national database of accident reports to find persons of interest.
 CARFAX tools are free to your agency as part of our information exchange program. When your agency shares
its vehicle crash data with CARFAX, you will receive unlimited access to their 14 billion record vehicle history
database and investigative tools.
The information CARFAX provides can help find additional clues and intelligence ranging from vehicle color to recent
service history to accident reports and more. The unique CARFAX database grows by more than 4 million records
daily from more than 92,000 public and private data sources.
Recently, our database was used to help generate a lead for a major case in Colorado. A
police department there was looking for a suspect in a first degree assault/attempted
murder case. They had exhausted their resources and the case was getting cold. Months
later, one of our CARFAX representatives met with the department to introduce them to our
investigative tools. As part of the demo, they provided a VIN that was related to the suspect
and plugged it into our VIN Alert program. The VIN was run through our database and
returned a vehicle history report with a record that showed the vehicle had been at a service
facility in Kentucky getting its fluids checked just days after the incident had occurred in
Colorado. This information gave investigators a new lead to locate their suspect.
In addition to this partnership, your agency has the option to enroll in the CARFAX E-Commerce solution to sell your
accident reports online to citizens and insurance companies, saving your agency time and money.
E-COMMERCE SOLUTION—NO CONTRACT or ANY FEES

Association
Sponsorship
Makes
Personalized Safety Videos Easy and
Affordable for NJSACOP Members
Montclair State University Police Chief Paul Cell was February’s winner of Interaction Insight Corporation’s Personalized PSA Social Media Video giveaway, a new member benefit introduced at the October 2014 NJSACOP State
Chiefs Briefing. Chief Cell’s name was drawn at the February NJSACOP Monthly Briefing. Interaction Insight Corporation (IIC) provides Call Recording solutions for PSAPs and Public Safety Organizations, and they are giving away
these videos monthly as part of their sponsorship of the NJSACOP.
Throughout this year, the NJSACOP has made police agency utilization of the full spectrum of social media
platforms. As was stressed at our “Marketing Your Police Agency” this past March, you simply cannot successfully
promote your department and the value you bring to your communities unless you take advantage of social media
to communicate and even dialog with the residents in the community you serve. Accordingly, we are pleased that
IIC is able to add value to the NJSACOP in this manner.
As mentioned at previous meetings, a special NJSACOP group rate has been established, plus IIC is providing an
additional subsidy for these videos should you wish to have these personalized social media videos made for your
department’s website, Facebook page, and other social media outlets.
To enter your name to win at next month’s meeting, visit www.interactionic.com/njsacop-scoial-media-videoentry.html. You can also visit www.PersonalizedPSAs.com. An informational fact sheet that explains the program
can be found in this month’s NJ Police Chief Magazine as well.

Healthy Living Tips from
Lower Your Blood Pressure—Naturally!
The secret to lower blood pressure may be inside your refrigerator right now. New research shows that regular intake of probiotics—live bacteria naturally occurring in certain foods, which are beneficial for digestive health—may
help lower blood pressure. Found in live-cultured yogurt and fermented vegetables, such as sauerkraut or kimchi,
probiotics are also added to some high-end dark chocolates and available as supplements.
Researchers reviewed the probiotic consumption of more than 540 adults, finding the greatest benefit among those
with high blood pressure who consumed probiotics for more than two months. They also noted that probiotics with
multiple types of bacteria appeared more beneficial than those with just one type of bacteria.
A study presented at a recent AHA scientific meeting found that a strain of probiotics found in dairy called Lactobacillus reuteri lowered LDL levels in participants by nearly 12 percent more than the group taking a placebo, and overall
cholesterol was lowered by 9 percent!
While more research is needed on the link between high blood pressure and probiotics, the study reinforces the role
of “good” bacteria in a healthy diet. When shopping for yogurt with probiotic benefits, look for “live active cultures”
on the packaging. Not only is yogurt beneficial for digestive health (and possibly blood pressure), it’s also a good
source of vitamins, minerals and calcium.
Ask the Physician
I try to get enough sleep, somewhere between 7-8 hours most nights, but I’m still waking up exhausted and drag
myself through the day. I’ve always been a snorer, but my wife says it’s gotten much worse. What could be the
problem?
Frank M., Hamilton, NJ
Frank, there could be a number of problems for your daytime fatigue. One of the most common sleep problems is
“sleep apnea,” which is an abnormal breathing pattern at night, and may involve shallow breathing or even pauses
in breathing.
When you don’t get enough oxygen while you’re sleeping at night, it can make you tired during the day, and over
time this can have a number of other health consequences, including high blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmias.
At Deborah Heart and Lung Center we have a full-service Institute for Sleep Medicine, at which we perform comprehensive sleep studies to evaluate a whole range of sleep disorders—and sleep apnea is among them.
If you are concerned about your daytime fatigue, a sleep study may be beneficial and I would recommend it.
