On Tuesday, September 4, Livingston Police Department’s acting Chief Gary Marshuetz will be sworn in as the township’s newest chief. The appointment is somewhat ceremonial, as he will technically drop the “acting” in his title on September 1 and he has been assuming the duties of chief for several months. Nonetheless, it is the culmination of nearly three decades of service in Livingston’s police force.

Prior to the ceremony, Marshuetz sat down with the Tribune to reflect on his nearly 30 years on the job and what he hopes to accomplish moving forward.
