Moorestown Parole Officer To Head State's Camden Office

MOORESTOWN, NJ — A Moorestown man will be taking command of the New Jersey State Parole Board’s Camden Office, state officials announced.

Lt. Mark Eaise is one of six parole officers who are receiving promotions, the New Jersey State Parole Board announced. Three parole officers were promoted to the rank of sergeant, and three sergeants were promoted to the rank of lieutenant.

Eaise was a military policeman in the U.S. Army for four years, according to information provided by the Parole Board. He graduated with a degree in Criminal Justice from Rowan University.

He began his career as a parole officer in 1997 working out of the Parole Board’s District Office in Passaic. He then worked as an Electronic Monitoring Response officer in the Vineland and Camden areas for nine years.

The Parole Board also announced that Lt. Thomas Borr will take command of their Trenton Office, and Lt. Robert Howell will take command of the Division’s Community Programs Unit.

Sergeant James Gahm is now assigned to the Newark Office, and Sergeant Joseph McIntyre will now be supervising parole officers in Monmouth and Ocean Counties out of the Red Bank Office.

After being promoted, the commanders received their new badges and supervisory assignments to manage parole officers within the agency’s Division of Parole.

“Congratulations to these six commanders who will mentor parole officers in the field, and teach them how to maintain the high standards of community supervision that makes this agency a national model for paroling authorities,” New Jersey State Parole Board Chairman Samuel J. Plumeri, Jr. said. “The task ahead of them will be both challenging and rewarding as the New Jersey State Parole Board continues to help keep the state’s recidivism rate one of the lowest in the nation.”

“Advancing up the ranks requires hard work, excellent performance, experience, and strong leadership skills,” Parole Board Executive Director Steven Tallard said. “It is the culmination of all these attributes that have helped these newly promoted commanders achieve their goals. They are supremely suited to guide the next generation of officers as this agency looks to continue its dual mission of working to ensure public safety and helping lower the state’s recidivism rate.”

“These newly promoted supervisors have the integrity, confidence, and courage needed to make the tough decisions necessary to help lead the Division of Parole now, and into the future,” Director of the Division of Parole and Community Programs James Dickinson said. “As the prison population declines, parole numbers increase, which will make these new commanders’ leadership assignments that much more important.”
