The Bayonne Police Department was proud to once again be part of Buddy Baseball's Police Department Day this weekend!

Our officers had an amazing time spending the day with the players, families, and volunteers who make this league special. Events like these are a reminder that our department is committed to inclusion, engagement, and giving back whenever we can.

Chief Scerbo, a longtime supporter of Buddy Baseball and its mission, was also on hand to join the festivities. In one of the day's highlights, the Chief found himself being chased through the sprinklers by a few players looking to cool off on a hot day- a memory that brought plenty of smiles to everyone in attendance.

We would like to send our sincere thanks to Pete Amadeo of the Bayonne Recreation Department for his continued partnership and support. We are grateful for the opportunities they provide us to participate, volunteer, and help make a positive impact in the live of these incredible athletes and their families.
