Thank you to all of the cadets who participated in last night’s National Night Out. Everyone did a great job in representing the Leadership Academy and the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office. Special thanks to Shannon, Shirley, and Joshellin, who volunteered in Garfield. The Community Outreach Unit received a phone call from the Bergen County 4 H Club on how impressed they were with the three of you.
Congratulations and keep up the good work.

On behalf of all the Instructors and Sheriff’s Personnel, we would like to congratulate Sergeant First Class, Dominick Pallottie, on his recent graduation from the Bergen County Sheriff’s Youth Leadership Academy. It was a great pleasure to have you in our program. Best of luck on your future endeavors. You will surely be missed.

Dominick will be attending Bergen Community College this upcoming fall semester on a full academic scholarship.
