With heavy hearts we regret to share the passing of honorary member Larry Predmore. Larry was a huge supporter of our department, and the main reason we were able to do our pig roasts for so many years. Larry was one of the kindest and most generous individuals you could ever meet, and played a vital role in the community. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and ask that you keep them in your thoughts during this time. Thank you Larry, rest in peace brother.

We recently learned of the tragic loss of Battalion chief and instructor Bryan Schoch. As a passionate instructor at the Sussex County Public Safety Academy, Chief Schoch shaped the future of local emergency services by training and mentoring new recruits. His strong commitment to the fire service, exceptional skills on the fireground, and devotion to his fellow firefighters served as an inspiration to everyone who worked alongside him. We extend our deepest condolences to his family during this difficult time, and we will honor his legacy by maintaining the high standards of training and service he instilled in us all.

The Public Safety Training Academy family is heartbroken as we continue to keep Battalion Chief/Instructor Bryan Schoch and his loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.

With the permission of the Schoch Family, we share that BC Schoch suffered a medical emergency on Sunday evening and remains under medical care, surrounded by family, friends, and members of the fire service community. His prognosis is grave. Father Vic and Father Pagnotta have administered the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.

Chief Schoch proudly served the Jersey City Fire Department as Battalion Chief of the 2nd Battalion Group A and the Secaucus Fire Department, while also dedicating countless hours to the Public Safety Training Academy as an instructor, mentor, and friend to so many. His passion for the fire service and commitment to training the next generation of firefighters left a lasting impact on every student who walked through our doors.

In keeping with his selfless character and lifelong dedication to helping others, Chief Schoch is a registered organ donor, and through the NJ Sharing Network, his wishes are being honored so that others may have the gift of life.

Please join us in praying for Bryan, the Schoch Family, and all those who have had the privilege of serving alongside him. Service(s) information will be shared as they are made available.

Thank you to our awesome dispatchers!

The Vernon Police Department would like to take a moment to recognize the men and women in our office who are often heard but not seen. They are calm voices in someone's darkest hour, the lifeline for our officers in the field, and are incredible multitaskers who keep the chaos organized. They work long hours, deal with high-stress situations, and often go unnoticed. They are our Public Safety Telecommunicators. Thank you for your service to our community and Happy National Public Safety Telecommunicator's Week!
