Jets honor Linden hero officers
New York Jets Military/Law Enforcement Liaison Representative Steve Castleton came to Linden City Hall on Oct. 20 to
present Mayor Derek Armstead and the Linden Police Department with an invitation to the Dec. 5 Jets home game honoring
first responders.
Castleton brought Jets hats for the four officers involved in
the Sept. 19 shootout with bombing suspect Ahmad Rahimi. He
also presented the Linden mayor and the Police Department
with an autographed Jets football, signed by defensive lineman
and Linden resident Muhammad Wilkerson, who inscribed,
“Thanks for Keeping Us Safe.”
Castleton said the honored officers will emerge from the tunnel at the beginning of the game, following a contingent of State
Police motorcycles and will be accompanied by other first responders. d

Bergen County Sheriff’s Department Local 134 used the
power of the pink to raise $10,000 to donate the Hackensack University Medical Center Foundation in honor of October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. During the month
of October, the women and men of Local 134 donated $100
each and, in turn, were allowed to wear pink shirts under
their uniform shirts. d
