Over 100 police officers from around Ocean County, community leaders and officials gathered today at the ‘Bagels, Lox & Cops’ event hosted by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.
The event, which took place at Lake Terrace, provided an opportunity for representatives of the Orthodox Jewish Community to share cultural concerns
and valuable information with the various Law Enforcement officials throughout the County.
Following a catered buffet breakfast, the attendees heard from a panel of speakers which included the Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato, Police Chief Rob Lawson, Police Commissioner and Chaplain Meir Lichtenstien, Mayor Menashe Miller and Chaplain Rabbi Abe Muller. Also in attendance, was community activist Benny Heinemann, and Chaplain Rabbi Abe Friedman and representatives from the NJ Chaplains Association.
“Communicating with the public we serve, understanding their issues and concerns is critical to any law enforcement agency achieving support and true policing success within a community,” says Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Spokesman Al Della Fave.
The speeches were followed by a question and answer session, and concluded with lunch.

In a recent article in Canadian Medical Association Journal, Tom Koch discussed the Polio epidemic in the 1950s. He noted how everyone scrambled to save every life. Gymnasiums were turned into wards and cots were lined up from wall to wall. Steel lung machines were made and people were kept alive in these big negative pressure boxes. It was an imperative to save as many lives as possible. Nobody considered the costs or the quality of life of the people that were saved. He laments that in todays society the polio victims would be counseled against seeking treatment and most would die.
There is often a drift in values that would have been unthinkable has become the norm.
Nice gesture but dunkin donuts or a pas yisroel equivalent would’ve been more appropriate for cops.
