Thanks to all of the Auxiliary officers for coming out to the graduation, you guys did a great job. Even though the weather was about as uncooperative as it gets, you kept the graduates, their family and guests safe and orderly.

Thanks to all of the officers and guests who came out to celebrate Chief Baeza’s 25th anniversary as a Linden Auxiliary Police Officer!

We are happy to announce the graduation ceremony for the 2009 Union County Auxiliary Academy class. The event will be held at 6:30pm at the John Stamler Police Academy 1776 Raritan Road, Scotch Plains.

The 2009 Union County Auxiliary Police class is being held at the Union County John H. Stamler Police Academy. Under the direction of Officer Russel Gottlick, the Auxiliary Academy is an intensive 11-week course run entirely by volunteer instructors. During their academy training, Auxiliary Recruits will receive instruction on traffic control, patrol functions, crowd control, criminal law and courts, preservation of evidence, search and seizure, HAZMAT awareness, First Aid, CPR, unarmed defense, PR-24, OC spray, use of force, defensive driving, incident command, handcuffing, gang awareness, physical training, military drill, and much more.

By the time the recruits graduate the academy, they will be fully-functioning auxiliary law enforcement personnel. Because of the volunteer nature of this program, a great deal of dedication and determination is required by each recruit.

Interested in giving back to your community? Are you looking to get into a Law Enforcement career? Why not stop by Police Headquarters at 301 North Wood Ave. and pick up an application!
