where is lenny nieves sr he was also injured in shooting ???
Thankfully all officers are alive and (I presume) well. I would like to thank officer Nieves Sr. for all the good he does for this town, above and beyond what is required by a cop. You are a true public servant.
Yeah but to bad the township committee wants to illimanate Police Jobs
I would rank officer butterworth and nieves sr 1a and 1b as the best lpd officers our community has
Enough with Butterworth. Its getting old and tired already.
Where is MVP LENNY NIEVES SR. In the picture.They took a hit they didn’t deserve.is this a cover up?
Why don’t you look at the pictures again? Lenny sr is standing right next to his son lenny jr
Greg. U rock
Shows how much everyone knows Lenny he’s in the back
Good job done by all, nice to be recognized for the good things we do. Thanks TLS for reporting.
Imagine this…4 cops shot and the rest were at great risk for death. it wasn’t so lone ago, that deputy chief had to shoot a civilian. Or does everyone forget the crazy guy running around forest avenue with a knife. And know the township committee wants to cut five jobs. If you ask me we need five more officers. These brave men and women go above and beyond.
These guys are the best, I can’t believe the township wants to even think about laying off police officers. There aren’t enough officers to begin with, much less lay some off. Township comittee needs to look in the mirror before going after the jobs that are needed in this town…..
Thank you LPD we all realize that being a cop in Lakewood has become a very strenuous and dangerous job.
And to all the bloggers, this article should not serve as a forum to debate whether we can or can’t afford job cuts.
Jason Diffoot is my wife’s cuz! He is the best!!!!
