The department's designated juvenile officer, Morgan also assists detectives with criminal investigations, Detective Sgt. Justin Fox said. He also maintains all required Megan’s Law registration records.

Morgan has compiled a large number of arrests, rescues and assists in his time as a patrol officer.

A few years ago, he and a colleague rescued a suicidal woman who duct-taped a bag around her head after taking sleeping pills.

Morgan also helped seize a man hallucinating on drugs who broke into the borough public school overnight and vandalized it.

Working with his colleagues, Morgan also helped nab a burglar who snatched a bag of gold coins from a residence and tried to flee on a skateboard.

His father, retired Englewood Police Sgt. James Morgan, held the Bible as Morgan was sworn in during Tuesday's Mayor and Council meeting.
