     In early 2023, The Union County Prosecutor’s Office, partnered with Kean University, hosted a similar law enforcement recruitment event that held over Fifty Agencies and saw over 1,000 Participants resulting in Hundreds Being Hired in Various Agencies throughout The State. The full extent of the recruitment event’s success is unmeasurable, as Agency Hires are still being seen. This year’s event is slated to host over Eighty Participating Law Enforcement Agencies looking to recruit the next generation of Officers.

     “The Union County Prosecutor’s Office is pleased to once again partner with Kean University for the law enforcement recruitment fair,” Union County Prosecutor William Daniel stated. “This is more than just recruitment; it is an opportunity to build a police force that truly reflects the communities we serve.

     “Law enforcement is evolving. We’re seeking passionate individuals from all backgrounds who are committed to building trust and respect with the communities they serve. This recruitment fair is your chance to connect with different agencies, learn about their unique missions, and discover how your skills and experiences can contribute to a more equitable future,” Union County Prosecutor’s Office Chief of Detectives Dr. Harvey Barnwell states. “The fair is open to everyone interested in a career in law enforcement, regardless of experience or education level. Come explore your options, ask questions, and start your journey towards a meaningful career that makes a positive impact.”

     Kean University President Lamont O. Repollet, Ed.D, said he is proud to partner with The Union County Proscutor’s Office on this important event.

     “This partnership with The Union County Prosecutor’s Office is one way Kean University serves as an anchor institution for the region, supporting programs that benefit our neighboring communities,” Repollet said. “The University has an outstanding criminal justice program, and our many graduates are serving at all levels of law enforcement with distinction. This recruitment fair is an excellent opportunity for Kean’s students and members of the community to find meaningful careers in public service.”

     “Choosing a career in law enforcement provides a meaningful way for our residents to positively impact their community, while also enjoying fair compensation and benefits,” said Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. “Following the success of last year’s event with a substantial turnout, the continued demand for officers emphasizes the importance of such events. This joint recruitment event offers residents a valuable opportunity to explore different agencies, find their fit, and consider the diverse possibilities within law enforcement. I encourage all potential candidates to attend and explore the rewarding aspects this profession can provide.”

     “This recruitment fair will give everyone interested in a career in law enforcement the opportunity to learn more about this career path,” said Senate President Nick Scutari. “The many agencies participating will offer job opportunities to join the new generation of officers with good jobs that provide a vital public service to our communities.”

     Senator Joseph Cryan emphasized his support for those interested in a career in law enforcement. “As a former Union County Sheriff, I am proud of the professionalism that exists among our law enforcement officials. Any young individual seeking a rewarding career in public service would be well-served to explore their interests at The Union County Prosecutor’s Office Recruitment Fair.”

     “The upcoming recruitment fair provides a unique opportunity for those interested in a career in law enforcement to discover available opportunities to protect and serve our communities,” said Senator Jon Bramnick. “Becoming a law enforcement officer is a tremendous responsibility with making a positive impact on our communities, and I highly encourage anyone with an interest in the field to attend.”
