The Honorable Robert J. Del Tufo Attorney General of the State of New Jersey

Sir:

I respectfully submit the Annual Report of the Division of State Police for the fiscal year July 1, 1989 through June 30, 1990, our sixty-ninth year of service to the citizens and the state of New Jersey.

Our objectives have been to provide uniform and impartial law enforcement in all areas of the state under our jurisdiction, and to render aid and services, upon request, to other law enforcement agencies throughout the state. I believe we have met our obligation while having maintained the highest level of professionalism and service, though the burden on our available resources has been steadily increasing.

I am proud of our accomplishments during this fiscal year, and wish to take this opportunity to acknowledge the continuous efforts of our members, enlisted and civilian, who have provided the highest level of service to the citizens and the state of New Jersey.

I also wish to acknowledge your confident support and express our sincere appreciation to your staff for the cooperation rendered in areas of mutual concern.

Sincerely,

Justin J. Dintino Colonel Superintendent Governor James J. Florio

Trooper Patrick J. O'Dwyer - 4901 is a member of the 102nd State Police class and enlisted in January 1986. Since his enlistment he has been stationed in Troop C. His outstanding achievements of the past year reflect his dedication to duty and have set a standard of excellence within the State Police. This year's award is indicative of his achievements in previous years, when he received two certificates of commendation and was nominated for the 1988 Trooper of the Year Award.

During the past year, Trooper O'Dwyer conducted 92 criminal investigations resulting in 209 charges, 111 arrests and the recovery of $230,000.37 worth of property. He was responsible for the arrest of 76 drinking drivers, the issuance of 487 motor vehicle summonses and 547 warn­ ings. On June 27, 1988, his quick and immediate administra­ tion of first aid contributed to saving the life of a woman who had suffered a brain aneurysm.

Trooper O'Dwyer's career accomplishments are a reflec­ tion of his training and dedication to the high standards to which a New Jersey Trooper is held. His realization of these standards has reflected enormous credit upon himself as well as the New Jersey State Police. ORGANIZATIONAL CHART ......
