Perth Amboy honors 3 fallen police officers with lasting tributes

PERTH AMBOY – The city has honored three fallen members of the Perth Amboy Police Department with special dedications recognizing their service, sacrifice and contributions to the community. Two police boats were recently named in honor of Officer Thomas Raji and Lt. David Formeza, while Ogden Place, alongside Perth Amboy Police Headquarters, received an honorary street designation recognizing Officer Arcadio Rivera Jr. The tributes, established through municipal ordinances, preserve the legacies of the three officers and ensure future generations remember their commitment to protecting the people of Perth Amboy. “These three officers dedicated their lives to protecting our residents, and their service will never be forgotten,” Mayor Helmin J. Caba said. “These dedications are about much more than naming a boat or a street. They are about honoring three members of our Perth Amboy family, recognizing the sacrifices made by their loved ones and ensuring their legacies remain part of our city’s history.” “Every time these boats patrol our waterways and every time someone travels along Ogden Place, their names serve as reminders of what it means to serve a community with honor,” Caba added.

Plainfield Council Balks at Rushmore Pool Fees, Citing Affordability Fears

Plainfield City Hall Annex — Approximate Daily-Pass Prepayment Site. A proposal to start charging admission at Plainfield's year-old Rushmore Aquatic Complex collapsed this week when a city council motion to introduce the fee ordinance failed to get a second. The vote, or lack of one, means the pool — which drew roughly 2,800 users this year according to city officials — remains free to enter for now, even as the municipality faces warnings about rising costs elsewhere in its budget.
