new rank-and-file offic-ers appointed, handed those newly promoted their new badges and offered mini-biographies on each for the benefit of family members, fellow officers and members of the public who packed the council chambers for the ceremonies.

Lt. Caltabellotta is a 15-year department vet-eran who, Dowie noted, “made stops at NJ Tran-sit PD and the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office” before landing in Kearny but once here, the chief said, he made his mark. Known as “Speedy” and “One Speed” with the KPD, Dowie said that Caltabellotta “has always been steady, depend-able,” having worked in the COP unit, DARE, bi-cycle patrol and National Night Out, among other duties.

Sgt. Vulcano was ap-pointed to the force in

1996 and was “on loan” to the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Task Force,” performing valuable ser-vice for six years, while, in the process, interfac-ing with state and federal law enforcement agen-cies as well, Dowie said.

Sgt. Traynor came to the KPD in 1999 after serving in the U.S. Air Force and now has a son serving with the U.S. military overseas as a demolition expert, Dowie said. With the KPD, Traynor worked as a DARE officer, in the Vice Squad and De-tective Bureau where, Dowie said, he was “an outstanding investigator,” which he demonstrated with the work he did on the fatal shooting of Kearny teen Alishia Co-lon in her home Jan. 17, 2013, leading to the arrest of several suspects. He is also a N.J. State PBA Valor Award winner and he has served as the PBA vice president. His wife

Rose is also a member of the KPD.

Sgt. Corbett, a 20-year member of the force, elected to return to night patrol after serving with the COP unit, Detective Bureau and elsewhere, Dowie said. Under his leadership, the Junior Police Academy “has been a rousing success.” Corbett, who has been “decorated twice by the 200 Club,” has also been assigned to Marine Patrol, Tactical Team and firearms instructor. “And now,” Dowie said, “he’s putting himself through school to get certified as an incident stress manager.”

Sgt. Reed, who has put in 19 years with the KPD, has spent the past eight years as the local PBA president – a job that Dowie described “one of the most dangerous assignments” that a cop can be asked to perform. Still, the chief said, Reed handled it admirably.

ommend that the prop-erty bedesignated as an “area in need of redevel-opment.”

“Now it’s up to the Township Council to ratify the board’s recom-mendation,” said Town Attorney Alan Genitem-po. If the council obliges, “that opens up a new tool box for working with a prospective developer on what happens with the

property.”Aside from the joint

venture of Hacken-sack University Health Network and Seton Hall University signing a deal with Roche to develop a private medical school on a portion of the property, “other peo-ple are still negotiating with Roche” to lease the remainder of the 118-acre site, Genitempo said.

He said that Roche has reported that the

pharmaceuticals firm “is down to three” pros-pects. “We’ve been wait-ing to see when they’d designate [that tenant]. We’re optimistic we’ll hear that shortly but these are complicated negotiations.”

Genitempo said that Roche has agreed to “maintain responsibil-ity” for an environmental cleanup of the site, some of which is now in pro-cess on the property.
