RPD Lieutenant to Replace Outgoing Captain

Ramsey’s Police Department is going to replace its captain, who is expected to retire this fall.

The borough council announced at a recent meeting that current Lieutenant David Stitz will become a captain in the RPD this Fall. Stitz will replace Captain Ray Bailey, who borough officials say will retire this November.

Bailey was injured when a tree fell on him during Hurricane Sandy, and has been recovering on leave ever since.

According to a NorthJersey.com report, Stitz, who has been on the RPD for 19 years, will be sworn in during a public ceremony next month.

Stitz might be one of several promotions in the police department this fall, as two more retirements are expected later this year, the report said.
