Dear Mr. Dreisbach:

I would like to make you aware of members of your organization who assisted the Police Division in this year's annual Safe Trick or Treat Night at Camp Ockanickon. These individuals sacrificed their time for others in the community and I thought you should be made aware of their actions. The members of the Medford Township Superior Officer's and Police Officer's Associations have been sponsoring this event for the past four years. Under the direction of the School Resource Unit, the camp is donated to the township so that children in our community can experience a safe and fun night of trick or treating.

Over 900 children and their families attended this year's event, making it the largest so far. In speaking with the children and their families at the camp, I can assure you that the generosity of those who volunteered was greatly appreciated.

I was overwhelmed by the number of parents and children who approached us and thanked us for sanctioning the event. But the credit for the success of the night goes to the hard working people who made it happen. As the chief of police, I know how demanding time can be, and I commend those who sacrificed their time on this night so that other families could be together with their children.

On behalf of the Police Division and the entire Township of Medford, I would like to recognize the following individuals who generously volunteered their time and efforts:

Chris Doty

Jordan Doty

Drew Muckenfus

Matt O'Connor

Rob Gray

Victor Martino

In a time when it seems young people are only criticized for their negative actions, I felt it only right to recognize those who helped others in their community.

Please share with them my personal thanks for their efforts.

Chief Stephen Addezio

Director of Public Safety
