Sworn and Associate members of the NJAALEOA make a difference to an elderly woman

Not too long ago, a police department had a case where an elderly woman suffered from dementia and spoke not one word of English. The police encountered the elderly woman in New York City but believed she was a resident of New Jersey. The woman spoke Korean. Members of the NJAALEOA who spoke fluent Korean were called to assist Detectives as to who she was, where she resided as to reunite her with her family and to determine if a violent crime had occurred against her. This by all means was not an easy task. Members of the NJAALEOA had to be patient, listen carefully and develop a rapport with the woman as she gave different versions of what happened to her. Combining the efforts of NJAALEOA members who obtained bits and pieces of valuable information from an elderly person with the investigative skills of two very determined Detectives and the great cooperation of another police department in another state and you have a family united with their lost senior relative. You're not going to read about the great work of some people in the the Korean community and the law enforcement community to achieve together a very successful close to a missing person case. You're not going to read about it in main stream papers or in the Korean editions. You are hearing about this great effort here because the executive board of the NJAALEOA is extremely proud of the work preformed by members of this association. This is just one more example how the NJAALEOA is involved with the community. To all those involved in successful conclusion of this missing person case, we thank you all for a job well done.

We believe we have a couple of the best lawyers that are currently in practice in New Jersey. They are well versed in civil and criminal law. They do have the ability to speak several Asian languages not to mention Korean and Chinese. Please don't fool around when you need REAL legal advise. Your nephew that just graduated from law school may not be the right person at this time to save your as_. I think the guy is still suspended and is still paying insurance surcharges for the above is a true story. (Sorry if your the guy I am talking about what a dumb mistake. Just to show you not all Asians are smart.) Benjamin Cho and N. Weinberg are our respective association attorneys. Make one of them yours when your arrested, someone in your family is arrested or just got a bunch of tickets because you decided to do 95 on the turnpike.

We are happy to say lucky #13 was the number of members that purchased a DCH dealership vehicle this year. They are very happy, happy, happy members because they got a great vehicle at a super deal. YOU NEED TO CALL US. Some have thought they could just walk in and say I am with the NJAALEOA... NO GOOD. The salesman will say he is familiar with us and very organization in the world to get you to buy a car. WE call a specific person who in turn sets the salesman with you. We and our inside person oversees the deal. The results....13 super happy members and a happy car dealership. We only introduce DCH people who have done their homework and know that the price and car are the best around.

I can go on and on but come by on the 13th and while we share some laughs and thoughts we can talk about the other benefits of NJAALEOA membership.
John Polaski, if you are out there we need you to take a couple of hours off from work and join us please.

Please take a moment to read the attachments.

And always, be safe and stay in touch.

Robert May, for the Executive Board of the New Jersey Asian American Law Enforcement Officers Association.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Atsumi Ogawa, father of the past president Rolland Ogawa, on the morning of October 14, 2008. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Please get out your brand new 2009 calendars and save AUGUST 9th to the 14th 2009. Why save the dates one may ask? These are the dates for the 2009 National Asian Peace Officers Training Conference. The site of the training conference which was chosen by attendees at the 2008 NAPOA conference is the PALMS HOTEL located in Las Vegas Nevada.

Immediately upon the conclusion of the 2008 training conference YOUR NAPOA Ex. Bd. and a whole lot of other folks have been working on the 2009 conference as to give you cutting edge training and at the same time make the environment of the conference where we all get the opportunities to network and meet with our brother and sisters in law enforcement from around the country and beyond.

Three sponsors of the conference will be mentioned today. Two are returning sponsors from last year.

* The National Association of Asian American Law Enforcement Commanders is once again coming on board with NAPOA to make your conference a super one. John Lee is the President of the association. The association has been a strong supporter of the conference and I am sure we all appreciate their efforts.

* Returning with NAPOA two years in a row is the Federal Air Marshall Service or to the law enforcement community known as FAMS. If you attended the last conference you saw first hand what a bunch of super folks they are. Just to let you know something that was not mentioned..... FAMS personnel also performed security duty for the 'can't replace ever' World Trade Center Memorial display that was present at the conference. This display which was open to the public as well as conference attendees, was completely intact at the conclusion of the conference. My personal thanks for all the agents that pulled double duty during the conference. The Federal Air Marshall Service provided a whole array of support during the conference such as transportation, educational excursions and training classes just to name a few. NAPOA is proud to have the Federal Air Marshall back for the 2009 conference.

* The third super training conference sponsor I will mentioned in this email you all is the United States Secret Service. Last year the Secret Service came on board as a vendor. In 2009 NAPOA is proud to announce that the United States Secret Service is on board as a sponsor. Last year attendees of the 2008 conference heard from the leadership of both the Federal Air Marshall Service and the U.S. Secret Service. NAPOA is thankful of the kind words that were stated by the leadership of both organizations of our association.

With the assistance of these three powerhouse sponsors and individuals like Russell Lee, Byron Wong, Eugene Lee, Jessie Lane, Tony Woo and a bunch of other fine sponsors which will be mentioned in the next email.... the 2009 training conference should be a fantastic one.

Fliers in regards to the 2009 conference will shortly be posted on the NAPOA web site www.napoaonline.org

Though it is a little early, think about nominations for the Sheriff Harry Lee Leadership Award, the Chang Apana Award etc. More details will follow when we get close to accepting nominations for the various NAPOA awards.

Photos.... anyone with photos from the 2008 conference I would appreciate sending them to me via e mail or if you have a disk send them to Robert May c/o the NJAALEOA PO Box 958 Old Bridge New Jersey 08857. I will have most of the photos placed on the web. Remember you need an access code to view photos from 3rdVP David Lum. This section of the website is secured.

Any questions, thoughts, concerns? Give us a call or email. If you have any events that you wish to share with your fellow LEO, send those also.

Congratulations to our dear President Joe Luistro and his lovely wife on their wedding. Photos are available in the Pictures page.

The NJAALEOA participated in the Families with Children from China/ New York event which was held at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ. Thanks to all who helped out Jamie Yeh, Alan Chow, Jose Raboy and Virginia Ng. Photos may be viewed in the Pictures page.

Check out the new New Jersey Homeland Security Website

The child safe network has updated its website and continues to offer free ID kits for kids. It should be noted that the listed of registered sex offenders may reside in your jurisdiction or surrounding areas or within your residence. Something to think about. You have to go through some promotions before you actually get to the offender site but well worth it. The website is www.childsafenetwork.org.
