MRHS is humbled to recognize our fantastic police departments in Haledon, North Haledon, and Prospect Park during National Police Week 2022! We continue to thank them for their service to our communities and the protection they provide us on a daily basis. Please take the time to thank a law enforcement official when you see them and remember what an important role they play in our Falcon Family.
That said, as a reminder, the Haledon Police Department is now accepting applications for the Junior Police Academy for Summer, 2022! It is open to all MRHS students from any sending community and Haledon residents within a certain age range. Please see the message below from SRO Omar Zadeh as well as the two attachments to this email. One is the application for the Junior Police Academy and the other is the "How to Become a Police Officer Guide" that was written by our very own SRO Omar Zadeh as a resource for our youth and residents to learn more about this exciting occupation. There are a multitude of job opportunities in law enforcement and we can think of no better way to celebrate National Police Week than to promote interest in the profession that supports, protects, and serves all of our communities, our county, and our State. Thank you law enforcement for all that you do!
"Haledon Police Department is now accepting applications for the Junior Police Academy, with one of the instructors being our very own, School Resource Officer Omar Zadeh!
