6 Brick Police Officers Receive Promotions

BRICK, NJ — Six Brick Township police officers were promoted Tuesday evening at the Brick Township Council meeting.

The promotions were the result of vacancies created by the retirements of two longtime officers: Deputy Chief Robert Mazza, and Sgt. Sandra Naiduk, both of whom served Brick Township for more than 29 years.

Mayor John Ducey and Police Chief James Riccio promoted the officers during a swearing-in ceremony at the municipal building.

Promoted to deputy police chief was Donald Ling; he will command the Administrative Services Division.

Capt. Steven Gerling will be the Operations Division Commander.

Lt. Robert Hine will be assigned to the Operations Division as a shift commander.

Sgts. Michael Feeney, William Vendrell and Keith Donnelly will be assigned to the Operations Division as shift squad supervisors.

"Congratulations Deputy Chief Mazza and Sergeant Naiduk and best wishes on your retirements," the police department said in a post on Facebook.
