The Newark FOP doesn't forget our fallen, and we don't let their families walk alone.
Tonight I spoke to the 94 year old son of Officer Dehmer, enjoying life in the great state of Hawaii.
He wanted to know how we were doing with the rough weather the last 48 hours. Good man!
His Christmas gift from the FOP is on its way!!
