To our Chief & the entire Police Dept of Lakewood: Thank you for your tremendous efforts to keep our town safe!!
Choef Lawson is an amazing person and we in lakewood and specifically the lakewood jewish community are lucky to have such a devoted and caring person running the police department. He is a man of integrity and a real mentsch. And to top it off I love the way he goes about his public service announecments encompassing the correct hebrew/yiddish linho to describe what hes saying. It adds a feeling of comraderie. Chief we really appreciate everything that you and the fantastic men in blue do on behalf of all of us in lakewood. Thank you!
As I lifelong lakewood resident I remember the disaster this town looked like on purim kudos to the township for greatly improving the town on purim
The Honorable Chief- we want to you know that every single person in this town feels the way post #2 – Dovid does. In essense he speaks for all of us. A big thank you to you and to the police department that you lead.
Thanks chief. keep up the good work. we all admire you and appreciate all the hard work you put in.
OMG is 100% on the money. I remember, not too long ago, maybe 8-10 yrs ago, 14th street, from Forest to Hope road took 45 minutes. This is not an exaggeration. The Chief has don an amazing job of making the roads drivable again.
I totally agree with all the accolades which are being bestowed on the Chief.
He’s a great example what a public service man should look like.
remember to give the hard working crossing gaurds some mishloach manos!
#7- Yehuda. – our police chief is above and beyond what a public service person should look like…
