DATE : July 19 , 2021 SUBJECT :
Seeking Nominations for Officer of the Week
I ’ m writing to ask for your help . Every day , law enforcement officers in New Jersey perform acts of extraordinary courage . And too often , these acts are overlooked or forgotten . As I assume the role of Acting Attorney General , I want to ensure that our State ’ s best officers get the recognition they deserve .
My office is working on a number of projects to address this issue . But today I ’ m writing about one in particular : a new tradition we ’ re calling “ NJ Officer of the Week .” Each week , the AG ’ s Office will highlight an officer or team of officers who did something exceptional , whether they saved a life , solved a major case , or launched a new community initiative . We intend to promote the officer ’ s achievement across our social media platforms and educate the public about the officer ’ s public service career .
But to identify officers for recognition , we need your assistance . Whenever you hear that a New Jersey law enforcement officer has done something exceptional , let us know . To nominate someone , complete the brief form at njoag . gov / officer-of-the-week . Submissions received by close of business on Tuesdays will be considered for the weekly announcements on Fridays .
Thank you for your help — and for your service to this great State .
