Lakewood Police Captain Greg Meyer appointed as Chief

the age of mandatory retirement in the state of New Jersey. Uh as one would expect with any uh healthy police department, uh we had two fantastic people who were competing for that top spot. As one would expect, there's healthy competition. That competition is now over. And we having spoken to the leaders in the police department uh to our township manager expect and we are sure as our department has always proven that we will put the interests of the people of Lakewood first and the entire department will come together and do what you guys and girls do best what our police department does best and serve Lakewood Township. couldn't be prouder of our police department that I am for the few years that I've been lucky enough to be involved as leers on what a fantastic department we have and I want to thank my colleague and who has become a good friend of mine Tom Langenburgger for all the work that he has put in that he will continue to put in and I am sure we will all work together as that moves forward. His competitor was uh Captain Greg Meyer. I say the word competitor, but two people vying for a good spot. Uh the committee had a discussion about this and publicly, I'm sorry, we had an executive uh discussion about it and led by uh Tom Henshaw, our municipal manager, uh the committee has unanimously decided to appoint Captain Greg Meyer as the chief of the Lakewood Police Department.
