FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT
CHIEF RICHARD J. BUZBY, JR.
LITTLE EGG HARBOR PD
With Thanksgiving just behind us and the holiday season just around the corner, it is a
good opportunity to reflect on all of the blessings in our lives. Even with all of the turmoil
in the world, all of us do indeed have much for which to be thankful. First and most
importantly, we are blessed to live in a free society that protects our liberties and
freedoms. Not everyone in this world is so lucky. We are all thankful for our heroes –
police officers, firefighters, and all first responders – who every day provide lessons in
courage and selflessness. We are thankful for the men and women of our military,
wherever they are, who are defending not only our lives and our country, but those very
liberties and freedoms for which we are so thankful.
Closer to home, we should also be thankful for the fellowship and professionalism of our colleagues,
members, and all of our Association's other stakeholders and supporters.
On behalf of the NJSACOP Board of Officers, Executive Staff, as well as my own department and family, I wish you
all a Merry Christmas, a happy and thankful holiday season, and a safe, happy, and healthy New Year.
Fraternally,
Chief Richard J. Buzby, Jr.
NJSACOP President
