Pennsauken Officers Recognized During National Police Week Awards
By Frank Sinatra, AAP Editor
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which the date falls as Police Week. It was also on that same day in 1987, that Pennsauken Police Officer William Brey was killed in the line of duty. Each year on the 15th of May, the Pennsauken Police Department takes pause to remember Officer Brey, as well as Officer Richard Dawson and Officer George Bowman, all of whom gave their lives in the service of the Pennsauken community. The Police also take an opportunity to recognize those officers who go above and beyond the call of duty.

This award recognizes an exceptional law enforcement body that works side by side the Domestic Violence Response Team of CCWC, to protect the rights and wellbeing of victims of domestic violence, while also lowering recidivism for the department, together.

They do a lot for us. It means a lot for the victims who may think no one’s out there for them.”
“On behalf of the Pennsauken Township Police Department; our domestic violence liaisons Detective Aerika Long, Officer Evette Truitt, and Officer Nicole Kulyk; as well as Pennsauken Mayor Jack Killion, Public Safety Director Bill Orth, and Township Committeeman Marco DiBattista, I want to thank the Camden County Women’s Center for this award,” says Pennsauken Police Chief John Nettleton. “The Pennsauken Police Department truly values our working relationship with the Camden County Women’s Center to provide support services to victims of domestic violence.”
