Announcement - Chief of Police Jacqueline Luthcke

Organizational Anouncement

I am pleased and honored to announce that Captain Jacqueline Luthcke will be Ridgewood’s next Chief of Police and Ridgewood’s first woman Chief of Police effective July 1, 2016.  Captain Luthcke is eminently qualified to serve in this capacity.  She started her career with the Ridgewood Police Department in 1996 as a patrol officer advancing to Sergeant in 2005, Lieutenant in 2008 and Captain in 2010.  Jacqueline has been active in the Ridgewood community and has been the face of the RPD to our community.  Jacqueline has had a  distinguished career and has impressive credentials. I am absolutely confident and certain that she will make an excellent Chief and that out community will be well served.

Mayor Aronsohn will be swearing Chief Luthcke in on Friday July 1^st at 9:00 A.M. at BF Middle School where the ceremony will be attended by the graduating class of the Junior Police Academy. 

Please join me in congratulating Jacquie and in wishing her the best as the Ridgewood Chief of Police,  Roberta
