In an effort to have the State Statute in regard to the issuing of permits to purchase fire arms amended , so that an applicant would have to be fingerprinted and the time extended for which the permit was to be issued from seven to thirty days so as to give the police departments an opportunity to make a thorough investigation of applicants , as to whether they had any criminal record .
A moment of silence was held in memory of ( recently deceased ) Chief Peter Siccardi ( Bergen County Police ), a former President of both the NJSACOP and the IACP , and one of the giants in policing in New Jersey and the United States in the pre-World War 2 era .
