Quote:Actually, The ACA is funded because it is marked as an essential program, which is why it was able to go live. It's just so dumb that Republicans have shut down the federal government to stop Obamacare, but it's rolling along anyway.

The fact that he was so involved with the raids gives him a nice nod in my book.

I can't say that I know much about him. From those that post on here, it sounds like a super-cop getting placed in charge. I certainly hope that is correct.

Jersey City swears in new police chief

By Terrence T. McDonald/The Jersey Journal

Robert Cowan, who first joined the Jersey City police force in 1979, became the city?s 39th police chief today in a ceremony at City Hall, where Mayor Steve Fulop said Cowan's leadership will help make every resident in every community feel safe.

Cowan, 53, succeeds former Chief Tom Comey, who retired shortly after Fulop was elected mayor in May. Today, Public Safety Director James Shea credited Cowan with halting this summer?s spate of gun violence that left eight people dead.

It's a regular occurence in this dictatorshipQuote:You can't please the guy. I've never heard of Cowan, but from the feedback people have posted here, he seems like a good choice. And just as a reminder, the search for the new director was funded by private donations, and not on the taxpayer dime.

When Fulop went outside to hire James Shea as Public Safety Director, the cry was "Why can't he find someone in the department?"

When Fulop hires someone in the department as Police Chief, the cry is "He's no better than Healy, hiring buddies from the inside!"

Or is it more like being zeroed in on and you're just smart enough to know your place in the food chain?
Good luck and good riddance.

As a Greenville resident our block association has been working with Chief Cowan since he took over patrol. In the short time he took charge we have seen foot patrols for the first time since i have lived here, many more arrests, and frequent patrols of the Bayside park area. This was one of the main reasons I voted for the new regime and so far they have delivered.

Oh, and I have seen Cowan in our neighborhood about once a week which i personally appreciate. He was responsible for a couple of arrests in the Bayside park area. Before his tenure we almost never saw JCPD in our area.

Enough already. Watch them resurect this turd. Have you ever had a conversation with him? You can't. Going from bad to worse. No wonder Fulop waited until now to make the announcement and pay him back. Its McGreevey and McCann all over again.[/

Tell the people how you thought things should have went.
Pressure.

John1952 is a very bitter cop is my bet. It's only a matter of time for you.

Quote:

Yes at this point in time he is the best choice and Fulop should consider himself very fortunate to have him. Things are going to change aren't they John1952.

A Patrolman did not become police Chief. A Deputy Chief who came out #1 on a very complicated battery of tests became the Chief. This was after acing the Captains test and having to make Healy promote him twice. He knows his shit.

Quote:

That pressure is really driving you off the deep end isn't it. Keep going you're doing a great job. cop2cop is available and free lmao!

How does a patrolman become a police cheif or is this appointment purely onr that will give little opposition to the Public Safety Director?

Is this guy really the BEST person for the role or is he the BEST that applied ?

Excellent choice Mayor Fulop thank you. Below is a letter to the JJ from a resident of SH about the community barbeque that was thrown together. Other parts of the city were hit by Sandy as was SH. But in SH NO one from the city showed up until 6 days after Sandy. The only reason Healy finally did show up was because of an embarrassing piece in the JJ about how residents of the waterfront community were fleeing. A-hole Healy tried to weasel in on the barbeque with his red faced side kick Brennan and Healy?s photographer. No one would pose for pictures with him.. great.

Letter: Our post-Sandy cookout warmed hearts

As I sit here on Monday at home in Society Hill, still cold and without power, I was warmed by the selfless acts of giving that I had witnessed being performed by neighbors from within our community. On Sunday, Society Hill residents Jersey City Police Capt. Bob "Bubba" Cowan and his wife Liz Cowan, retired JCPD Officer Bobby Englese, his fiance Evie Reyes, and Pat Albers had all teamed up and put together a wonderful cookout for the residents of Society Hill where over 300 hamburgers and 400 hot dogs were served to neighbors who had suffered seven devastating days with no electricity and plummeting temperatures.

According to Liz Cowan, this barbecue was made possible by the generosity of John Ng and his family, who own 555 Asian Supermarket on Tonnelle Avenue in Jersey City. The Ng family donated well over 100 pounds of chopped meat, 400 hot dogs, hamburger and hot dog rolls, as well as paper goods and water. A very special thanks is due the Ng family.

Why are people so convinced that John1952 is Fletch?

Did Webmaster just make an entire thread of comments disappear without so much as an explanation? How Orwellian.

Presumably this comment will join them soon, and goodthink will reign.

Cowan, 53, who started with the department in December 1979, is a ?very hard worker? who has worked mostly patrol his entire career, according to one police source. Promoted to deputy chief in December 2012, his current salary is about $150,000.

He'll make $187,229 once he's chief, including his longevity pay. City spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill said he'll be sworn in tomorrow at 9:30 a.m.
