CHIEF BROUGHTON COMES HOME TO TEANECK
HACKENSACK - Chief William Broughton of the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office returned to his alma mater this past Friday to take part in Teaneck High School’s Career Day. A graduate of Teaneck High School and a former Captain in the Teaneck Police Department, Chief Broughton spoke with students about the benefits of a career with the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office and how the education he received in Teaneck’s public school has helped him achieve his professional goals.
“From Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Peter Pace and Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Paul Volcker, Jr. to sportscaster John Sterling and NBA Comissioner David Stern, Teaneck has produced an extraordinary group of civic and professional leaders,” said Broughton. “It is a privilege to return to my high school and address tomorrow’s leaders today.”
Chief Broughton was among representatives from the United States Marine Corp, the New Jersey State Police, local colleges, as well as other organizations participating in Career Day. Speaking alongside Sheriff’s Officer Tim Monahan, Chief Broughton explained to interested students the functions of the BCSO as well as the requirements and phases of the application process to become a Sheriff’s Officer.
