The Middlesex Borough Police Department and Chief Matthew P. Geist want to express our gratitude to all of the participants and community members who came together to make our National Night Out celebration our most successful event yet!

We welcomed nearly 2,900 attendees, distributed thousands of drinks and snacks, giveaways, and informational handouts. We had games, activities, facepainting, a petting zoo and hot air balloon on location. Emergency services, Borough agencies, local businesses and organizations were on location to meet, interact with, and provide donated items to members of the community. We gathered to share a fun night and to celebrate in a safe and central location at Mountain View Park.

We would like to thank all of our partners, participants, donors, supporters and guests who made this night possible. Special thanks to the Borough of Middlesex DPW/Recycling for their hard work and preparation and to the Mayor and Council for their support of our Community Policing efforts.

Chief Matthew P. Geist of the Middlesex Borough Police Department is proud to announce the hiring of two full-time police officers who were sworn-in on Monday, August 3, 2026 by Mayor Mikolajczyk. Officer Shahrose Kahlon, a 7-year veteran of the Jersey City Police Department, began initial training and will be assigned to the Patrol Division upon completion of Field Training. Officer Luis Velez, a veteran of the United States Marine Corps who was previously employed as a Correctional Police Officer, will attend the Cape May County Police Academy Basic Course for Police Officers. Upon successful completion of the academy course, Officer Velez will be assigned to the Patrol Division.

Under an agreement with Dr. Roberta Freeman, Superintendent of Schools, the Middlesex Board of Education, and the Middlesex Borough Council, three Class III Special Law Enforcement Officers will be hired and serve in the Middlesex School District. Troy Alston, a retired officer from Plainfield Police Department, Vito Giannetta, a retired officer from Elizabeth Police Department, and Joseph Pezzano, a retired officer from Keansburg Police Department, will begin required training as school officers in preparation for the 2026-2027 academic year.

“This has been a tremendous accomplishment to start our Class III SLEO program in partnership with the school district,” stated Chief Geist. “And the continued support of the Mayor and Borough Council allows us to work toward our goal of fully staffing our police department in order to continue to provide the services that our community has grown to expect of our professional police organization.” Chief Geist continued, “The addition of Class III SLEOs furthers our commitment to safeguarding our schools and the youth of our community.”
