6 Nuevos reclutas se unen al Departamento de Policía de Hoboken

Public Safety Director Ken Ferrante, the former Chief, added, “This class reflects the City and Police Department’s commitment to recruit and hire qualified officers, amidst a nationwide challenge of doing so.  Each of these young men brings valuable experience to the HPD, strengthening the force and allowing it to even better serve the community.”  

The oaths of office were administered by City clerk James Farina.

“The job of police officer is not an easy one, but it is a very important one,” stated Police Chief Steven Aguiar.  “This group is young and ready to take on their new roles. They are the future of Hoboken Police, and I look forward to watching them succeed in the career they have chosen.”

The six officers will now take part in four months of field training before being assigned to the Hoboken Police Department’s Uniform Patrol Bureau which responds to approximately 100,000 calls every year.

The size of the Police Department is expected to grow, as the Hoboken City Council is expected to approve an increase in the HPD’s Table of Organization from 146 to 156 at its next meeting, which tales place on Wednesday, December 18th.  This change, if approved,  allow for the hiring of 10 more officers to increase foot patrols and enhance police visibility throughout the City.  The Department is looking to fill that table early next year.
