After a string of shootings in the city this summer, Orange Township (NJ) Mayor Dwayne Warren appointed his brother as the city’s acting police director with a mandate to carry out a wide-ranging plan to tackle crime.
Todd Warren, who previously served as deputy police director, replaced the department’s former acting head, John Wade.
“As Mayor, my primary responsibility to the families of Orange Township is their safety and well being,” Mayor Dwayne Warren said in a statement Friday.
The mayor said the acting police director would be tasked with implementing a strategic plan to “secure our streets, remove violent offenders from our community and strengthen the partnership between local police and residents.”
