Administrative reporting of incidents mandated by the state forced the move, TAP into Fair Lawn's report says.

Longtime Capt. Robert Kneer retired last week after 43 years with the department.

The captain's appointment won't come until March, at the earliest, because of the need for an ordinance change to create room in the municipal budget, according to TAP.
