“Dear Gloucester Township Residents and Community Members,

After more than three decades of dedicated service to the Gloucester Township Police Department, I have made the decision to retire from my position as Chief of Police on November 1, 2025.

From my first days on patrol to the privilege of leading the men and women as the 11th Chief of Police of this outstanding department, I have witnessed firsthand the strength, compassion, and resilience that make Gloucester Township such a special place to call home.

 Virtua Health, South Jersey’s largest health system, has won nationwide recognition for its initiatives supporting social causes.

Not-for-profit Virtua has received a 2025 Greater Good Award in the category of Local Community Benefit, for its Champions of Humanity campaign. Other finalists and awardees include Audible, Mastercard, and Sesame Workshop, as well as Sensodyne and Feeding America.

Presented by a group of respected media and marketing firms, these awards “showcase the work being done around social causes, their impact and, ultimately, those working toward the greater good,” according to organizers.

Virtua’s Champions of Humanity framework includes an array of initiatives that address human needs, from food access to mobile health programs to safe, affordable housing. It recognizes that every person is unique, and that health is influenced by a wide range of factors.

“Champions of Humanity is a concept deeply rooted in the understanding that health goes beyond medical treatment, encompassing an individual’s entire life and environment,” said Virtua President and CEO Dennis W. Pullin. “It recognizes that every person has their own stories and aspirations, and that their well-being is profoundly influenced by their living conditions, opportunities, and challenges.”

The DLCC invested six figures and is targeting 12 Spotlight candidates to protect the Democratic majority in the New Jersey Assembly

WASHINGTON — The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) has invested six figures to support New Jersey Assembly Democrats running in key campaigns to protect the Democratic majority. As Trump’s tariff taxes and reckless agenda drive up costs, voters are ready to support Democrats who will expand economic opportunities. The DLCC identified 12 Spotlight candidates running in the most competitive races to hold Republicans accountable for standing by Trump’s failing economic agenda.

  • “In the final weeks of the campaign, the DLCC is running through the tape and investing to protect our strongest Democratic incumbents and flip some of the GOP’s most vulnerable districts in the New Jersey Assembly,” DLCC President Heather Williams said in a statement.
