A group of East Orange police officers recently formed the inaugural chapter of the East Orange Bronze Shields. This non-profit organization supports positive police-community interactions and provides advocacy for minority officers within the department. This is the 3rd Bronze Fields chapter in New Jersey. Newark Police Department founded the first chapter in 1957, and the Passaic Chapter was founded in 2009 to include law enforcement agencies across the County of Passaic.
