Toms River Residents Unify In Support Of Suspended Police Chief

Toms River, NJ—The newly elected Mayor of Toms River, Daniel Rodrick, is making major changes to the township, some of which have its residents up in arms.

Amid a dispute over police funding and positions, the Toms River mayor temporarily suspended the beloved Police Chief Mitch Little. The two-day suspension resulted from an administrative issue over the mayor’s controversial decision to eliminate two captains’ positions in the police department.

The efforts by the mayors office to slim down the police department and the suspension of its chief, have indirectly led to a partial defunding of the department, hurting the security of the township and all its residents.

Askonim and community leaders told FrumNews.com that the Police Chief is beloved among the Frum Kehilla and the general population. “[Police Chief Mitch] Little is known as a unifier, someone who brings the community and all its residents together.”

They added that they, “Are very optimistic that the Mayor and the Police Chief, both of whom want what is best for Toms River, will work again together for the safety and security of all Toms River residents”
