On August 19th, the Fair Lawn Auxiliary Police held a ceremony during the Borough's Council Meeting. The evening started off with the official swearing in of the officers who recently graduated from the Bergen County Police Academy. Joseph Sproviero, Steven Milnes, Thomas Spear and Daniel Fontana were sworn in as Auxiliary Police Officers by Deputy Mayor Joseph Tedeschi. William Cummings, who is also a recent graduate, was unable to attend the ceremony.
During the evening, numerous officers were promoted:
Lieutenant Frank Bello was promoted to Captain
Sergeant Stuart Alpart was promoted to Lieutenant
Patrol Officer Paul D. Fucci was promoted to Sergeant
Patrol Officer James Magarelli was promoted to Sergeant
Also promoted, but unable to attend the ceremony, was Sergeant Andrew Flax to the rank of Lieutenant.
The highlight of the evening was the honoring of Lieutenant Kenneth Pfeifer for volunteering over 40 years with the organization. Lt Pfeifer, a lifetime resident of Fair Lawn, joined the organization in 1965. Three years later he joined Fair Lawn Fire Company 3, where he is still an active member. Lt Pfeifer received a Proclamation from the Mayor and Council announcing August 19th, 2008 as "Lieutenant Kenneth Pfeifer Day" in the Borough of Fair Lawn. Lt Pfeifer also received a Lifetime Member plaque from Chief Magarelli. Celebrating the evening with Lt Pfeifer was his wife of almost 50 years, Ginger, and many of their children and grandchildren.
Congratulations to everyone on a well deserved evening!
