(JNS) The police department in Lakewood, N.J., hired its first Orthodox Jewish cadet last week. The name of the cadet will not be realized until the new students complete the academy, which would be in about six months. “I am pleased to announce today that we’re hiring 13 new police officers, men and women from our very diverse community in order to bring our numbers up to 150 sworn officers,” police chief Greg Meyer told the outlet. Lakewood, a township in Ocean County, is a hub of Orthodox Judaism. It’s also home to one of the largest haredi yeshivahs in the world, the 6,500-student Beth Medrash Govoha, also known as BMG.
