It was great to see the support of our large number of NJSACOP members attending and participating at the recent IACP Annual Conference. It was a great professional development and networking opportunity, and Philadelphia was a great venue for this important conference. I know that our members and our guests greatly enjoyed the NJSACOP networking reception aboard the Spirit of Philadelphia. Although our very own Chief Chris Wagner came up just a bit short in his bid for election as IACP 4 th Vice President, all of our members and our Association as a whole can be proud of the honorable campaign that Chris ran.
As we all know, even though our members and the agencies they lead face many daunting challenges, this“ Thanksgiving” month is a particularly appropriate time for us to think about all of the things for which we should be thankful. Each of us has our own personal list – family, friends, good health, and all of the other blessings that come with life in our great country. Additionally, we should never lose sight of the fact that, tough times or not, we are privileged to be a part of a noble and important profession, which allows us to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors and our communities.
I want to wish all of our members and the police officers serving our communities a heartfelt“ thank you” for all that you do each day.
I look forward to seeing you at our next monthly Police Chiefs Briefing on November 2 nd at the Doubletree Hotel Tinton Falls / Eatontown.
Chief Gary C. Gubbei NJSACOP President
