“I want to be the one to lead the sheriff’s department, to stand behind their men, put policies and procedures together and have a proactive department. Right now, we have a reactive department,” Borchert said when asked why he wanted to run for Hudson County Sheriff.
He explained that one example of being proactive from the perspective of the sheriff would be to send officers to Hoboken on Friday and Saturday nights to assist the local police officers when the bars close.
A 23-year veteran of the department who has received their Medal of Honor, Borchert also called for more patrols on county roads and another police radio in patrol cars to keep officers more in tune with the municipality they are assigned to on any given shift.
Borchert, who also has a pending federal lawsuit alleging Schillari demoted him as a form of retaliation, told Hudson County View that “one has nothing to do with the other†when asked if that played a factor in announcing his candidacy.
Mike Makarski, Schillari’s campaign manager, said the current sheriff’s reforms on patrol and overtime are two examples of how he has turned the department around.
“Since being elected, Frank Schillari has revolutionized the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office. He implemented the first ever 24/7 patrol program that provides round-the-clock protection with substantial reductions in overtime that saved taxpayer dollars,” he said in an email
“Under his leadership, the Sheriff’s Office has teamed up with local municipalities to better patrol and protect our residents, roads and parks. With the continued support of all the Mayors and political leaders of Hudson County, Sheriff Schillari is looking forward to a successful re-election campaign.â€
The 2016 Democratic primary is scheduled for Tuesday, June 7.
Who’s paying for the Sheriff demt to babysit Hoboken on weekends? And of course this has to do with you sueing azzhole Schillari. At least partly. Don’t start off lying bro.
