PHOTOS & VIDEO: In a private ceremony yesterday evening between colleagues, close friends and family, veteran Police Officer Sergeant Pete Smoke marked the end of his 25 year career with the Lakewood Police Department.
Sgt. Smoke, a truly dedicated and well-respected officer, chose to retire without an official ceremony, but posed for a photo outside police headquarters before being sent off with a police escort.
TLS would like to take this moment to thank Sergeant Smoke for all his great work and dedication to the Township of Lakewood. May G-d continue to watch over you and bless you.
Yo Smokey, Best of Luck for many Health and Happy Years. Allan
