This morning, each of the young chiefs received a uniform and was escorted by a patrol car to his or her local police headquarters for a swearing in, followed by a tour. A squad-car ride to the courthouse for a group ceremony followed.
Then came a motorcade to The Landmark Restaurant in East Rutherford, where the new chiefs and their families had lunch, followed by special guest speakers and a variety of activities and entertainment. Plaques were to be awarded to each.
“As public servants, it is our duty to bring care to those who need it the most,” Saudino said.
