Announcement:

After the passing of our Executive Director and founding father, Tony Parenti, the Executive Director position was left vacant for the duration of 2019 in memoriam of Tony’s passing.

At yesterday’s regular business meeting, with approval from the Executive Board, it was my honor to appoint Rich Maxwell to the position of Executive Director. Rich had informally assumed the responsibilities of Executive Director already, including authoring our newsletter, scheduling meeting speakers, and coordinating training.

Rich will continue these duties as the association’s Executive Director, along with any additional responsibilities as directed by the President. Congratulations to Rich, thank you for your hard work in bettering the association, and best wishes for continued success.

The NJPTOA is saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Bill Yodice. Bill was a long time member of our organization and will be deeply missed. Rest easy Troop.

Today we'd like to take a moment to acknowledge retired Captain William F. Yodice #2165, who passed away on Thursday, December 20.

Captain Yodice was a member of the 71st New Jersey State Police Class, which graduated on August 26, 1966. He served in various assignments throughout the Division for 32 years, retiring in 1998.

He is survived by his wife Catherine Yodice, four children, and three grandchildren. His son-in-law, Detective I Mark Suhocki, of the Fatal Accident Investigation, has been a trooper for more than 12 years.
