Hoboken Police Department Celebrates Promotion of New Captain

The first of multiple promotions in the Hoboken Police Department took place on Thursday afternoon, with Tory Pasculli's promotion to captain. 

Pasculli, 37, has worked for the police department for 16 years. With Pasculli, there are currently three captains on the force, which is what the department's table of organization calls for. 

The table of organization also calls for 97 officers, 11 lieutenants and 26 sergeants. 

Currently, there are 10 lieutenants, 26 sergeants and 88 officers, according to one police sergeant.

"I'm committed to filling the table of organization," said Mayor Dawn Zimmer on Thursday. "There's going to be another promotion." 

The other promotions—which will include promotions to officer, lieutenant and sergeant—will happen "soon," and are currently being planned, Zimmer and Public Safety Director Jon Tooke said. 

The current table of organization was passed by the city council in July, 2011. 

Celebrating Pasculli's promotion on Thursday, Police Chief Anthony Falco said he "couldn't be prouder."
