MORRIS COUNTY — Law Enforcement Night on Friday, March 3, at Mennen Arena was a Huge Success. The New Jersey Coalition for Education and Positive Choices and the Morris County Sheriff’s Office hosted the free event open to the public.
Families had the opportunity to meet some of Morris County’s top men and women Law Enforcement Officers. Individuals tried on equipment, sat in some state-of-the-art vehicles, and received free handouts and cool merchandise. There was the chance to take photos with the local heroes.
Florham Park Mayor Mark Taylor, Morris County Sheriff James Gannon, Hanover Township Mayor Thomas “Ace” Gallagher, East Hanover Mayor Joseph Pannullo, and the 200 Club of Morris County were among the local representatives participating.
The C4PCC’s mission is to provide the community with facts and information relating to drug and alcohol abuse.
“The importance of introducing kids to new activities and promoting substance-free events to keep them occupied – such as sports, exercise, career days, teen dances and activities with law enforcement – is of paramount concern when it provides ways to uphold a child’s self-esteem,” the organization states.
