Motorist Grateful For Rush HourAid

was with my two young children Ion Friday when my car stalled on the shoulder of Route 1 during rush hour. A young West Windsor Rescue Squad volunteer, Kevin Friis, and his partner, Arjune, hap- pened to be driving an ambulance for Meditrans and went to great lengths to park behind our vehicle during this busy time, keeping their flashing lights on while we awaited assistance. The West Windsor Police De- partment also went out of its way to assure our safety, as they arrived later when Friis had to take a call. I am most grateful to Friis, his partner, and the West Windsor Po- lice Department for providing as- sistance and protection in a vulner- able situation.

He read: “I am not aware if I am up to date or not,” from Procaccini’s response. However, DeSimone said he found during his investigation that Procaccini had reviewed other doc- uments, including a promotional document, during that time and that his last log-in to the system was on June 26, 2009. Smith pointed out that the sys- tem only tracks the receipts when an officer signs off on a policy, and not whether or not an officer actu- ally reads the directive. He also said that because DeSimone E- mailed the sergeants asking them to pass along the message to their units about checking the system, “you don’t know for sure whether or not he got the instruction” to do so. Also, “if this is such an impor- tant issue, why did the department wait two years to investigate this?” Smith asked, referring to the initial direction to officers to review poli- cies that had been sitting in the sys- tem for about two years.
