PAST PRESIDENTS OF THE NJNEOA
Look Inside
Page 3
NJNEOA News— www.njneoa.com Spring, 2012 - Vol. 23, No. 1
As my presidency enters its final months, I would like to address some of the changes that we’ve made.
The process by which applicants are accepted as members of the association has been streamlined. Once the membership committee has conducted its check of the applicant, which includes verification of their em-ployment status, a recommendation is made to the BOD. The applicant is now a member. However, it takes ap-proximately one month to receive an acceptance letter. A request for online User ID and Password can be made at that time, granting access to the member’s area where a dues card can be printed.
Seven additional individuals from throughout the state have been appointed to the Board of Directors of the association. This will enable us to glean a broader range of opinions and ideas on the needs of the member-ship of the association and help to generate the growth of the association’s membership.
For over a decade, we have had a BOD member func-tioning as a liaison to the National Narcotics Enforce-ment Officer’s Association Coalition. Past-President Al Katcher served as that individual. But with his re-cent move to Kentucky, it was agreed that an associa-tion by-law should be drawn up to address this important position. The position of delegate to the NNOAC has been created and is the president’s appointment. The delegate’s responsibility is to form a relationship with both those in the Senate and Congress in an attempt to accurately gauge in what direction this country is going in narcotics enforcement. It is very important that the po-sition of delegate have some type of continuity. It is for that reason that the position has no term limit. As long as the individual continues to perform his duties diligently, he will continue holding the position. Should he fail to live up to expectations, or voluntarily step aside a new appointment will be made.
The delegate will attend the NNOAC semi-annual conferences. He furnishes the Board of Directors with a report of what discussion, concerns, upcoming legisla-tion and the direction being considered by legislature for the future of narcotics enforcement. Any important infor-mation will be passed on to the membership through our newsletter.
After serious consideration, I felt that Past-President Sam Calabrese would be best suited to fulfill the duties of delegate. Sam retired as Captain from the Springfield Police department numerous years ago. Being retired affords the ability to attend these conferences without conflict, which an active member might encounter with a
work schedule. Sam will also be assisted
by Board of Director Bob DiGenova who, as the Com-mander of the New Jersey Commander’s Association, will also be in attendance.
For the past several years, we have been negligent in making available training to our southern-west members in their region. In attempt to correct this, our Seminar Com-mittee is in the process of linking with the Southern Com-mander’s Association and it’s Commander Rosemary Parks, to co-host an upcoming training seminar.
I encourage everyone to take advantage of the train-ing being offered at the upcoming April seminar. If you haven’t registered as of yet, please do so.
In addition, regarding training, the 43rd Annual Train-ing Conference curriculum and schedule is available on line. Please peruse the agenda and consider being an at-tendee. Remember, as a member of the NJNEOA you receive an automatic discount towards your registration.
In the very near future we will be transforming the NJNEOA database to a technologically advanced system. You can read more about that in this issue’s Letter from the Editor on page 5.
Lastly, plans are in the works for this year’s Annual NJNEOA Beach Party. We are looking to visit Sea Side Heights at a location yet to be determined. Once final ar-rangements are made, all the particulars will be posted on the NJNEOA website and will be announced in the sum-mer issue of the NJNEOA Narco News.
I hope to see you at the April seminar.

NJNEOAThe New Jersey Narcotic Enforcement Officer’s As-
sociation recognizes several police officers and their departments during the year by acknowledging the
outstanding investigations they have conducted in the area of narcotic enforcement.
The NJNEOA will present these officers and their depart-ments with an NJNEOA Achievement Award at either one of the seminars the NJNEOA sponsors or at the Annual Confer-ence. No longer will all of the awards be presented at the conference.
In order to be considered for an award it is mandatory a detailed account of the specific investigation is submitted by a member of the NJNEOA for placement in the quarterly newspaper and on the Association’s website. It isn’t neces-sary the officers receiving awards be NJNEOA members. If need be, a generalized story omitting the defendant’s names and addresses will then be authored for use in the Associa-tion’s publications.

Counsel’s Column One More Thing to Consider
By Frank M. Gennaro, Esq. Deputy Attorney General,New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice (Retired)
United State Supreme Court Considers the Fourth Amendment Consequences
of Attaching a GPS Device to an Automobile
In January 2012, the United States Supreme Court decided United States v. Jones. That case involved a District of Columbia criminal case in which federal
officials installed a Global Positioning System device on the vehicle of a drug suspect. The ruling from the Supreme Court confirmed what we in New Jersey already knew, and what should have been expected—that the installation and monitoring of a GPS is a search for purposes of the Fourth Amendment.
This is one of those cases in which the government’s po-sition was dictated by the circumstances. While the drug investigation of Mr. Jones was going on, the government had no confusion as to whether a search was involved, as the federal agents applied for, and were granted, a Warrant authorizing the installation of the GPS tracker, which instal-lation was to be done in the District of Columbia within 10 days of the Court’s Order.
The problem was that the GPS was not installed until the 11th day and then, the installation was done in Maryland. The District Court denied Jones’ motion to suppress the evi-dence. The denial was based on established law which held that there is no expectation of privacy in one’s movements
from one place to another. Jones was tried, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.
The Circuit Court reversed the decision of the District Court, holding that a Fourth Amendment violation had oc-curred.
The government conceded that the GPS was not installed in accordance with the Warrant. Faced with the prospect of losing the conviction, the government made the only argu-ment open to it. Namely, that the installation and monitoring of the GPS (for a period of some 28 days), was not a search and that therefore, the Fourth Amendment was not at issue.
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed with the Circuit Court. Justice Scalia writing for the majority, held that the govern-ment’s actions, by physically occupying private property for the purpose of obtaining information, were precisely the type of government conduct that the Framers had in mind when they wrote the Fourth Amendment.
The Court held that the government’s attachment of the device encroached on a constitutionally protected area. Thus, surprising no one, the Court held that the installation and use of a GPS is a search for Fourth Amendment purposes.
“The ruling from the Supreme Court confirmed what we in New Jersey already knew, and what should have been expected—that the installation and monitoring of a GPS is a search for purposes of the Fourth Amendment.”

Joke of the Quarter - A game warden was driving down the road
when he came upon a boy carrying a wild turkey under his arm. He stopped and asked the boy, “Where did you get that turkey?”
The boy replied, “What turkey?”The game warden said, “That turkey you’re
carrying under your arm.”The boy looks down and said, “Well, lookee
here, a turkey done roosted under my arm!”The game warden said, “Now look, you know
turkey season is closed, so whatever you do to that turkey, I’m going to do to you. If you break his leg, I’m gonna break your leg. If you break his wing, I’ll break your arm. Whatever you do to him, I’ll do to you. So, what are you gonna do with him?”

On February 16, 2012, the Woodbridge Special Investigations Unit culminated a several weeks\ investigation with the execution of a Superior Court
search warrant upon an individual identified as Jermain Chavers and his residence located at 350 C Lafayette Road, Apartment 1B Menlo Park Terrace.
Several weeks prior, officers had received information that Chavers was distributing quantities heroin in the Woodbridge/ Metuchen area. That information, combined with several hours of surveillance, led to the granting of the search warrant for both Chavers and his residence.
As the officers approached Chavers, he was observed toss-ing several decks of heroin into a parked vehicle. Seized from the residence were an additional 588 decks of heroin, and sev-enteen thousand nine hundred and ten dollars ($17,910.)
Chavers was placed under arrest and charged with Posses-sion and Possession with Intent to Distribute CDS. Bail was set at $100,000 No 10%.
The NJNEOA congratulates the members of the Wood-bridge Police Department’s Special Investigation Unit on an-other successful investigation.
Good news for the good guys, bad news for the rest.
