Editor’s note: Soon after this sillyism was sent out to the HOA mailing list, someone actually read it and informed the communication department, and a corrected version was sent out. So now everyone can learn why the regular Neptune Police Chief needs someone looking over his shoulder.
CAST OF COMPANY by Stephen Sondheim:
Joe: You are out of touch on this. There was a shakeup in the Neptune Police Department in 2017.
First the Police Director (civilian) Michael Bascom was replaced by a 3 person Police Committee. Their goal was to improve oversight by the Township. That Committee consisted of an outsider police captain from Newark plus Neptune Committeemen Brantley and Williams.
They went on to appoint Neptune Police Captain Larry Fisher to the new position of Acting Deputy Chief in December 2017. He will answer to Chief James Hunt. Fisher will be the guest at the OGHOA meeting coming up.

We actually had a Deputy Chief for many years, i believe Mr Bailey was the last one and it wasnt filled when he retired.
