By HEATHER FIOREThe Sun

After various members of thelocal FOP and PBA publicly dis-paraged Police Chief DanPosluszny in May 2012, saying hisposition shouldve been removedinstead of the seven officers whowere laid off because of budgetcuts, Township Manager RichardKrawczun asked Township Coun-cil if it wanted to maintain a po-

lice chief or create a public safetydirector at its Dec. 3 meeting.

Posluszny is retiring, effectiveJan. 1.

They raised the suggestionthat the town hire a public safetydirector, Krawczun said. At thattime, it was also presented byboth representatives of those twogroups that there would be aneconomic savings by going in thatdirection that the cost of a pub-lic safety director would be lessthan that of a police chief.

Although Krawczun told bothorganizations he was in favor ofmaintaining a police chief posi-

tion in the township when thesecomments were made, he wantedto discuss the issue with coun-cilmembers for their input and

suggestions.Krawczun put together two

presentations the pros and consof each position and a cost analy-sis comparing the two to detailwhat each scenario would looklike and how each would affectthe functions of the police depart-ment and other public safety serv-ices.

The pros of a public safety di-rector are that its someone whoshired from outside the depart-

ment, providing fresh insight;that person can be removed as the

Youve heard it time and again

lately, but its worth repeating:

Shop local this holiday season!

Were already two weeks into this

shortened holiday shopping season

since Thanksgiving was so late this

year but if you havent already fin-

ished your shopping, you shouldstrongly consider buying as local as

you possibly can.

Keeping your spending dollars in

your hometown, or at least in the re-

gion, has immense benefits on the

local economy.

Even companies as large as Ameri-

can Express are touting the impor-

tance of shopping local. The company

started the now well-known Small

Business Saturday the Saturday

after Thanksgiving, the day afterBlack Friday in 2010 to promote

small businesses. Just last year, a

study reported an estimated $5.5 bil-

lion was spent at small businesses on

that day in 2012!

A vibrant and successful local busi-

ness community has a trickle-down ef-

fect on our own pockets. Just think:

Successful local businesses makeother businesses want to locate in our

town.

More businesses equals more rata-

bles, which, in turn, lowers our taxes.

The more ratables we have, and the

lower our taxes are, the more attrac-

tive our community becomes to future

residents.

It all starts with you. If you have a

choice between buying a gift at a bigbox store or a local mom-and-pop, sup-

port your neighbors by making that

purchase locally.

Our small businesses are already

struggling with a still-rebounding

economy and a holiday shopping sea-

son that is six days shorter than nor-

mal. Lets all help them out by opening

their doors and opening our wallets to

them. We can make it a truly happy

holiday season.

in our opinion

Shop local!This holiday season, support localbusinesses

looking for something full-time. Ijust dont know what yet.

Posluszny said being a policeofficer was the greatest job inthe world.

Its the only full-time job I everhad, he said. It was really greatto work in my hometown and

hopefully be able to make a differ-ence. I enjoy being a police officerand I still do. Im not rushing toleave the time is just right to go.Im going to have to retire sometime. Everything is just fallinginto place right now.

After assuming the position ofpatrol officer for six years until1991, Posluszny made sergeant.After making sergeant, he served

as road supervisor until he waspromoted to lieutenant in March1996.

From 1996 to 1999, Poslusznydabbled in internal affairs, untilmaking captain in March 1999.

In 2002, Posluszny said theLTPD created a deputy chief posi-tion, which he was given to essen-tially learn the ropes beforebeing promoted to chief sixmonths later in July.

After experiencing every posi-

tion the department had to offer,Posluszny said his personal fa-vorite was being on the road.

Every position is different,he said.

With everything being consid-ered, the best job was being a roadofficer. Its just fun. I did so manydifferent things and met so manydifferent people. Every day wasdifferent; you never knew what

you were going to have. One day,youd be trying to arrest a subjectin a wrestling match and the nextminute you might be doing CPRor changing a flat tire on the sideof the road. Its very varied.

Although he enjoyed the actionon the road, Posluszny said therewerent any specific memorablemoments during his three-decadetenure.

I really just enjoy being a po-lice officer, he said. I enjoy

everything about it helping peo-ple, solving crimes, being in-volved in very large events likeHurricane Sandy and flooding,and trying to help.

Thats what I enjoy the mostand what I take out of this job andwhat I did.

Posluszny gained a lot of expe-

For the last three years, hesalso been teaching courses at Far-leigh Dickinson University. Hetaught a victimology course, butwill now be teaching a law en-forcement ethics course.

The Boy Scouts of America

Troop No. 28 from Lawrencespent several hours on Saturday,Oct. 19 helping to Restore theShore. Ten Scouts participatedin planting dune grass on the newmounds of sand created duringthe restoration of beaches onLong Beach Island. The Scoutswere assigned to the area of Pea-hala Park where they braved cool,windy weather to plant grass intothe sand. The new grass will notonly help stabilize the dunes, but

allow the dunes to grow in size.It was really easy to plant thegrass where the sand was wet,said Second Class Scout RussellKnab. It was the areas where thesand was dry that digging to adepth of 12 inches was frustrat-ing.

After completing their assign-ment, the Boy Scouts enjoyed abarbecue meal sponsored by BillHutson, owner of Lorrys Island

End Motel, for all the volunteers

who planted dune grass.It was great to have the Scouts

help out, Hutson said. In all,over 14,000 pieces were planted bythe 100-plus volunteers who as-sisted in the restoration project.

Considering it was work, andour first time participating, wehad a lot of fun, said First ClassScout Jack Wagner, who plannedthe activity for the Troop. I thinkthere is a good chance we willmake this an annual event.

Troop No. 28 is open to boyswho have completed fifth grade,and meets Friday nights from 7:30p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Troop Hut atLawrence Road PresbyterianChurch. For information, visithttp://lawrence28.mytroop.us/contact or email ScoutmasterStephen Monfre at [email protected] or CommitteeChairman Larry Fox [email protected].

director for poor performance;and that person can be responsi-ble for police, fire, emergencymanagement and emergencymedical services.

The cons of a public safety di-rector are that the position isfilled by a civilian, meaning theyhave no police powers, cannotstop people or vehicles, cannotconduct investigations, are un-able to carry a firearm, and are

not permitted to view any confi-dential internal reports or policedocuments; that person may besubject to external influences;and that person may negativelyimpact the departments morale.

It limits his or her ability tofully function within the task ofwhat we expect within our policedepartment, Krawczun said.

The pros of a police chief arethat the person is hired within

the ranks of the police depart-ment, removing the threat of anyoutside influences; and that per-son has full police powers.

The cons of a police chief arethat the person is hired withinthe ranks of the department, theperson cannot be removed andits a continuation of the sameculture.

Krawczun also detailed the fi-nancial impact of these twochoices, which revealed that apublic safety director would costconsiderably more than that of apolice chief.

Currently, we have a chief, a

captains position that is vacantand not funded, and we havethree lieutenants, Krawczunsaid. To have a director, the cap-tains position would have to befilled. There would be three lieu-tenants, a captain and a directorof public safety. That being thecase, we would have to fund thecaptains position, and in theory,officers would move up in theranks.

Krawczun compared two differ-ent scenarios having three lieu-tenants, a captain and director,and having a police chief and

maintaining the three lieutenants which showed there would be anadditional cost of $134,000 to havea director and the latter positionsopposed to keeping a police chief.

In order to accomplish whatwas suggested in May 2012, thereis actually not a savings, but anadditional cost, he said. Second-ly, if we took a look at having apublic safety director that is notretired from public employmentand not receiving a pension and

medical benefits someplace else,theres still an additional cost of$104,000 and all of this costwould go against 2 percent cap.

With the deciding factors pre-sented, the council membersunanimously voted in favor ofkeeping the police chief position.

I think a civilian directorwould create redundancy becausewe do have the manager who is acivilian, councilman Michael

Powers said. And, by the time wesolicited candidates and conduct-ed interviews for a director, wedhave a headless department at the

beginning of January.Councilwoman Cathleen Lewis

echoed Powers comments, andsaid the department needs to havea ranking officer at the end of theday.

The chief of police is the mostlogical step, she said. I hopethat everyone walks away fromwhat has happened over the lastyear and moves forward knowingthat there needs to be more cohe-sion within the department and

with the administration becauseit makes the township better.After stating how not one po-

lice officer has come to publiclyapologize since the incident lastyear, Mayor Jim Kownacki saidits been weighing on him eversince.

That night I remember veryclearly. I remember how the FOPand the PBA, with the chief sit-ting right there in front with hiswife, attacked him in a room thatwas filled, he said. Its more

than weighed on me; I believe inyou guys 100 percent, I support allof you 100 percent, but that night,you ripped me apart when Ilooked at my chief sitting rightthere.

Shortly after, Andres Mejia,one of the officers involved withthe comments made in May 2012,approached council to apologizefor his actions and support main-taining a police chief position.

Things are a little differentthan they were last year, he said.

I want to say that since last year,the chief made a complete 180 inhow he ran the police depart-ment. The chief and I had a heart-

to-heart, spoke one-on-one andsettled our differences now Isupport him 100 percent. Whatwas said last year was whenseven officers were losing posi-tions; it wasnt a good time. I be-lieve this department is going inthe right direction...and Ill be thefirst one here to stand in line andapologize for the things I said.

Det. William Chester, who ispart of the Local No. 119 and hasserved for the department for the

last 24 years, said the departmenthas come a long way since May2012.

We had some bumps; we hadsome grinds. We as police gothrough a lot of issues, but our

job is extremely hard, he said.Chief Posluszny is the glue asour chief, and he will be until heretires.

Weve had police chiefs since1924. There are six photos in thelobby and I walk by them everyday; I think theyre the strength

and the integrity of our depart-ment, and I hope it would contin-ue to be that way.

Krawczun said on Jan. 1, hewould need to make a provisionalappointment of one of the lieu-tenants to assume the position ofpolice chief.

At that time, he will also re-ceive a list of eligible candidatesfrom the Civil Service Commis-sion, which he will then inter-view to then make a permanentappointment.
