With his father, a former Asbury Park police officer holding the Bible, Leonardo resident Sean McDonald was sworn in as the 15th police officer on the Atlantic Highlands Police Department. Mayor Loretta Gluckstein administered the oath of office at the last council meeting and noted the borough is now at its full complement of officers.
Police Chief Scott Reinert welcomed the newest officer, and noted that McDonald exceeded the many who applied for the position and will be an asset to an already well respected and efficient department. The chief noted that because of the reputation for excellence the department has, there were many applicants at a time when other municipalities are not seeing the same number of outstanding choices.
McDonald, who assumed the position immediately and thanked department members for their assistance is a Keansburg native who grew up in Middletown and graduated from Middletown High School North. He has completed training as a Class A officer, earned a degree from Jersey City University and was employed by the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office.
