🚨 Important Announcement 🚨

We regret to inform you that our 3v3 basketball tournament scheduled for this Saturday has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

We are proud to announce the promotions of Lieutenant James Hartmann to the rank of Captain, Sergeant Patrick Mazzella to the rank of Lieutenant, Patrolman Richard Reynolds to the rank of Sergeant, and the hiring of Anthony Cipriani as a full time police officer.

After 4 days and 277 miles our members rode into the Law Enforcement Memorial to mark the end of another Police Unity Tour. They were surrounded by over 2100 other officers from around the country and countless mothers, daughters, sons, fathers, husbands and wives of officers killed in the line of duty.
Proud is an understatement.
We Ride for Those Who Died.

Good luck to our members and all the officers from across the country riding in the Police Unity Tour! Almost 300 miles over 4 days is no small challenge but the cause is worth the effort.
The Police Unity Tour supports the National Law Enforcement Memorial and more importantly, the survivors of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.

We Ride for Those Who Died

Come out to Burger 25 May 13th and support Long Beach Twp. PBA 373 Torch Run for Special Olympics!

Last night the members of Long Beach Township PBA 373 were proud to present VFW Post 3729 - Long Beach Island, NJ with a check for $2000! This is the proceeds from our annual Salute To Heroes mini-golf tournament held at Jen's Links at Lighthouse Cove. Thank you to all of our sponsors and players that participated!

This is the hero we lost last night. Philadelphia Police Officer Richard Mendez was 50 years old and a 22 year veteran when he interrupted a car burglary at Philadelphia International Airport parking deck Thursday night. He was shot multiple times and a fellow officer was also shot. His murder has shaken us all.

He leaves behind a wife and daughter. Our hearts go out to his family and friends.

We need to catch his killers. COP SHOT is offering a reward through Philadelphia FOP Lodge #5
