Have 'Pizza With The Prosecutor' On May 30 In West Long Branch

FREEHOLD –Wanted. Residents who want to meet with Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni.

Chief of Detectives Michael Pasterchick Jr. and several local police officers will also be on hand at the Cafe Villa Pizza in West Long Branch on May 30.

Come and have a slice. The prosecutor is paying. You'll also have a chance to ask him and the other law enforcement officers some questions.

Gramiccioni is building on the success of various "Coffee with a Prosecutor and Cop" events recently sponsored by his office. He decided to add this event to bring law enforcement and the public together to discuss issues.

“These events open doors for community engagement outside of emergency situations that are usually the reason law enforcement and community members are brought together," he said. "Keeping with the spirit of community policing, events like these have successfully contributed to establishing trust between the community and law enforcement. The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office looks to have a role in bridging those gaps"

Café Villa Pizza is located at 310 Route 36, West Long Branch.
