CORRECTION/UPDATED( September 10, 2022)—It has been brought to our attention by Police Chief/City Administrator Brian Morrell that he has three and half more years to work before he can retire; that his salary is based on the last year of his employment. Morrell also took exception to our statement that no one could perform two jobs and do them efficiently. Stating, "You do not know what I do or don't do, you just assumed. Why do you continue to bash me?" Our position remains that no one can perform two jobs, and do them well. And, if we are wrong why have taxpayers been paying different salaries to a police chief and city administrator all these years. That is our opinion, and it is also been the opinion of other people we have spoken with. We have no personal vendetta against Mr. Morrell and have no reason to "bash" him.... Read more →

PHILADELPHIA – United States Attorney Jacqueline C. Romero announced that Michael Goldner, 52, of Paoli, PA, was sentenced to 40 months in prison and three years of supervised release by United States District Court Judge Mark A. Kearney for his scheme to use his cash and his employer’s business bank accounts to hide his actual income and assets and therefore avoid paying his legitimate tax obligations. In June 2022, the defendant was convicted after trial of tax evasion and failing to file tax returns in connection with this years-long tax fraud. Evidence presented at trial showed that for the tax years 2013 through 2017, Goldner reported more than $4 million in income and $1.8 million in tax due, of which he paid less than $100,000. Further, from 2016 to 2020, the defendant evaded the payment of these outstanding taxes while earning a substantial income. Instead of depositing his paychecks into... Read more →

William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNews GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (November 5, 2022)--Regarding the November 2 article Gloucester City Council Candidates Speechless written by columnist Dorothy Philbin, Josh Twyford, the chair of the Gloucester City Republican Committee, stated in a comment, "Dorothy was given a response from the Republican ticket." We suggest Mr. Twyford is referring to the four-minute PowerPoint presentation that Fanning submitted to her which she publicly acknowledged that she did receive it. Republican council candidate Jason Fanning submitted a PowerPoint presentation from his team. If it is finished in time, it will be published here. The production needs to be reformatted to be included in the Notebook. Ms. Philbin invited all seven candidates to sit with her for a one-on-one interview. Instead, Mr. Fanning offers a PowerPoint presentation that looked more like a campaign video. It had nothing to do with the issues she wanted to discuss. Out... Read more →

Beginning on November 1, 2022 and for the entire months of November and December, the Lower Township Police Department, along with many other agencies across the county, will be participating in “No-Shave November.” One of the goals of “No-Shave November” is to raise cancer awareness by embracing our hair (which many cancer patients lose), and letting it grow wild and free.

Lower Township Police Announce UAS Program In 2021 the Lower Township Police conducted a study into the potential use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The Department contacted several vendors to explore the capabilities of different brands and their strengths and weaknesses. Officers attended training with the Gloucester Township Police Department, which already has an established program with multiple UAS platforms. Lower Township's unique geography comprises residential neighborhoods, densely wooded areas, marshlands, and estuaries. With numerous missing person cases and water rescues, it was determined that obtaining a UAS with a thermal camera would give officers an advantage in finding someone lost or injured in specific inaccessible locations. Conventional aerial resources such as the Coast Guard or State Police helicopters are challenging to get due to weather, the large area they cover, and the prioritization of their requests. Being able to deploy a UAS with a thermal camera rapidly means we... Read more →

by Samuel Stebbins/The Wall Street Journal via The Center Square Tasked with protecting lives and property, police officers have one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States. Responding to emergencies, conducting traffic stops, patrolling high-crime areas, and arresting suspects are all part and parcel of the job - and each year, dozens of police officers are killed in the line of duty, feloniously or accidentally. (These are the most dangerous jobs in America.) According to data compiled by the FBI, a total of 984 police officers in the U.S. were killed on the job over the 10-year period from 2012 to 2021. Just under half of those deaths - 480 - were accidental, often a case of officers on foot being struck by a moving vehicle or dying in a car crash. The remaining 504 officers, however, were killed feloniously, which the FBI defines as an officer who... Read more →

All it takes for evil to thrive is for good men to do nothing. ~Edmund Burke \ by Dorothy Philbin | CNBNewsnet Usually when it comes to politics in Philadelphia, I take a stand that "I don't live there, work there, or pay taxes there so it isn't really my business." However, now that George Seros-backed DA, Larry Krasner, has decided to not prosecute criminals, we in New Jersey are affected. We are only a bridge length away from Larry Krasner's criminals. It is about to get worse. Philadelphia's police department is about to lose their state-wide accreditation. Why? The geniuses who administer Philadelphia's laws and order have decided that their police officers may no longer pull over a car for a minor infraction, such as a broken taillight. That was the only example used in the Chris Palmer article published in the Philadelphia Inquirer (July 22, 2022.) I wonder... Read more →

Shutterstock By Bob Pepalis | The Center Square contributor (The Center Square) – Cities that are not grateful for what police officers do and want to defund departments have officers who are under a lot more stress while dealing with an already difficult job. That's the assessment of Keith Germain, vice president of the New Jersey Association of Chiefs of Police, who recently spoke with The Center Square. Germain, who is also chief of police of the Barnegat Police Department, said it’s a wholly different experience working in a city that supports its officers. “But beyond that, I would just say that police officers historically are used to not being liked all the time, right?" Germain said. "We're typically the bearer of bad news." He said, however, that as crime has increased everywhere – even in communities where police didn’t feel appreciated a few years ago or that were calling... Read more →

Around dinner time on Feb. 13, 2018, Ronell Foster was riding his bike on a wide road that runs through the historic downtown of Vallejo, California. The 33-year-old did not own a car, and cycled nearly everywhere he went around his hometown, often flanked by his teenage son and 5-year-old daughter. But that night, Foster was riding alone, swerving in and out of traffic lanes without a bike light, and caught the attention of officer Ryan McMahon, who pursued Foster in his car. Foster hit the brakes, and McMahon ordered him to “come over and sit in front of my car,” according to the officer’s deposition in a civil rights lawsuit filed by Foster’s family. “Stop messing with me,” Foster responded...
