CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PROMOTIONS East Greenwich Deputy Chief climbs rungs to the top Newly promoted East Greenwich Chief of Police Christopher Everwine and his wife Michele with their son Joshua during a public council meeting. 60 NEW JERSEY COPS ■ AUGUST 2016 Refining a career with the Gloucester County Police Department for more than two decades, former Deputy Chief Christopher Everwine finally has been given the opportunity he’s been waiting to grab. In May, following an impressive 23-year run as a Gloucester County law enforcement officer, Everwine was sworn in as the East Greenwich Township PD Chief of Police during a local public council meeting. A graduate of the Gloucester County Police Academy, Everwine has been a member of the Gloucester County Local 122 since his induction as a full-time officer. His professional pull toward investigation throughout his career earned him a steady rise in rank from detective with the East Greenwich PD to Detective Sergeant of the Detective Bureau, and then from Lieutenant to Deputy Chief in 2008, when his predecessor Barry Jenkins was sworn in as Chief of Police. Everwine and his family have strong ties to Gloucester County. He and his wife Michele both are long-time East Greenwich residents, raising their son Joshua, who has special needs, to flourish in the community. Everwine’s promotion to Chief of Police represents a progressive move for the Department and the whole of Gloucester County. d
