| Description | Today, the Sheriff's Department operates with greatly improved fiscal responsibility,
which includes budget reductions and innovative programs that have increased the
department's revenues by more than (10) million dollars annually. Additionally, we have
done this while working vigorously toward crime reduction, and effort that, according to
the Uniform Crime Reports, resulted in a drop of overall crime rates in Passaic County
by nearly 25 percent.
Our department has initiated numerous community-based programs available to all the
citizens of Passaic County. These programs have been designed to improve both the
services we provide and the relationships we share with the community. Among these
programs are the Reverse 911 Notification System, the Senior Citizen "Are You Ok
Program," the Senior Identification and Crime Prevention Program, the Student "Reality-
Check" Program, the "Rad-Kids" Children Abduction Awareness Program, the Volunteers
In Police program, the Explorer Program, the College Intern Program and the Crime
Stoppers "Operation Safe-County" Program.
However, on the mind of most Americans are terrorism and the security of our homeland.
I want to assure you that Passaic County has a coordinated and comprehensive plan in
dealing with this threat. In facing this danger, Passaic County Prosecutor James F.
Avigliano and I signed an agreement enabling the creation of the "Passaic County
Counter-Terrorism Task Force." This task force represents the first of its kind in the State
of New Jersey wherein the public safety officials in conjunction with our schools, trans-
portation, public utilities and medical professionals have worked together to provide the
most advanced homeland defense strategy for the County of Passaic.
The people of Passaic County elected a law enforcement professional with more than
twenty-two years of experience as their sheriff. Upon being elected, I fully understood
that it was my obligation to step up to the challenges of our shared vision of a responsible
Sheriff's Department characterized, above all, by the integrity of its leadership. I have
dedicated my life to protecting you and your family and there is no quality of life if our
homes and neighborhoods aren't safe and our children and seniors are left unprotected.
Furthermore, I pledge that our goals of excellence in service will not be compromised. In
this, I assure you that the Passaic County Sheriff's Department will remain committed to
ensuring safe county roads, schools, parks and neighborhoods through a department that
puts the "Public" first.
Sincerely
Jerry Speziale
