We would like to recognize and honor Lieutenant Marczewski and wish him all the best on his retirement from the Long Hill Township Police Department after 23 years of dedicated service to the community.

Lt. Marczewski began his career in public service with the United States Marine Corps, serving from 1992 to 1995. He later joined the Long Hill Township Police Department as a dispatcher in May 2003, and became a patrol officer in June 2004 after completing training at the Union County Police Academy.

In 2008, he was assigned to the Detective Bureau, where he spent five years handling complex investigations. He was promoted to sergeant in 2013, and to lieutenant in 2018, continuing to take on greater leadership responsibilities within the department.

Over the years, he served in a variety of roles throughout the agency in addition to becoming the OEM coordinator.

Throughout his career, Lt. Marczewski brought professionalism, experience, and a strong commitment to the community in every role he held. He was a steady and respected presence within the department, and his contributions have left a lasting impact on both his colleagues and the residents he served.

Thank you for your years of dedicated service. Wishing you a well-earned retirement filled with good health and time to enjoy what matters most.
