Cops: Inauthentic Police Materials May Have Been Sent to Long Valley Residents

The Washington Township Police Department has issued a statement warning residents to contact authorities if they receive material from the force that may not seem authentic.

“It has come to our attention that materials purporting to be issued by the Washington Township Police Department may have been disseminated to the public,” said Lt. Mark Niemynski.

“Only material on official Washington Township Police Department letterhead, authorized by senior officers identified by name and rank, constitute official statements of the WTPD,” Niemynski continued.

Anyone with questions regarding authenticity of police department material is asked to contact the chief of police or officer in charge for clarification by calling 908-876-3232.

At this time Niemynski is handling Officer in Charge duties until Monday, Aug. 17, when the township committee will name a new full time chief for the department.
