Over the past five years, the Jamesburg Police Department has lost six officers to other agencies. Two of the biggest reasons cited were the lack of a fully functional, independent police headquarters and the ongoing delays in promoting qualified officers.

Strong supervision is critical to public safety. Supervisors provide leadership, accountability, and guidance during emergencies. Without adequate frontline supervision, both officers and residents are impacted, and the department is exposed to increased operational risk and liability.

A Sergeant position has remained unfilled since October 2025. Today, the Department’s supervisory staff consists of only the Chief of Police and three Sergeants. The continued delay in filling vacant supervisory positions has reduced frontline leadership and raised serious concerns about officer retention, morale, and public safety.

The Business Administrator stated: “There appears to be a disconnect between the PBA membership and the Police upper management.” We want to be absolutely clear: the Jamesburg P.B.A. unanimously and fully supports our Chief of Police. We are one department, united in our commitment to serving and protecting the residents of Jamesburg and Helmetta.

Why hasn’t strengthening leadership within the Police Department been made a priority?

The residents of our communities deserve immediate action to ensure public safety. That means fully staffing the department, filling vacant supervisory positions without further delay, and making prompt leadership decisions that give our officers the support they need to protect the people of Jamesburg and Helmetta.

This past Friday our officers were proud to stand alongside Princeton PBA #130 and thousands of law enforcement officers across New Jersey in carrying the Flame of Hope during the 43rd Annual Law Enforcement Torch Run.

Every mile run helps raise awareness, support, and opportunities for Special Olympics athletes. It was an honor to be part of a tradition that brings communities together and celebrates the power of inclusion.

Today, officers from the East Windsor Police Department attended Career Day at Kreps Middle School. The officers in attendance once attended Kreps themselves, making it a special opportunity to come back and connect with students.

We hope today’s outreach inspired the next generation of homegrown East Windsor police officers.

After our previous post, many residents asked what our contract proposal actually included—so here it is.

At the most recent township meeting, our PBA President, Bryan Butchon, laid it out clearly: a fair and reasonable agreement with no clear justification for rejection. Our proposal includes real concessions such as a new step guide, specifically designed to save taxpayers money in the immediate future. Even with the proposed raises, our officers would rank just 6th in the county in overall pay.

This is not an excessive ask—it’s a responsible one that balances fiscal reality with the need to retain and support the officers who serve this community every day. We thank the council members for reviewing the materials provided and giving this proposal the attention it deserves.

Our community deserves full transparency. Watch, listen, and decide for yourself.

Big thanks to Lea Kahn for putting a spotlight on our fight. Still no contract, but still standing strong.

It's back to the drawing board for East Windsor Police Benevolent Association (PBA) Local 191, which has been stymied in its efforts to reach a new contract
