Rabbi Friedman and all of our chaplains are an important part of our organization. We thank him for his dedication and service to the New Jersey State Police and to the citizens of New Jersey. NJSP
how come nobody cares that he doesn't live in new jersey but is chaplain of nj state police?
ReplyDeleteIf ,as the article says , being a police chaplain is a volunteer unpaid position where he lives isn't so important .When a capable guy volunteers for a major commitment of time you don't turn him down so quick because he lives elsewhere.
Deleteso i guess you feel that same way about Jackson?
DeleteThere are no benefits to this job ???
ReplyDeleteSame goes for Jackson hiring Lakewood police chaplains.
