Woodland Park has a new Chief of Police. Congratulations to Chief John Uzzalino, along with new Deputy Chief Lou DeLuca, Captains Michael Brady and Jeffrey O’Brien, and Lt. Danny Russo, who were all promoted at a recent Borough Council meeting. 

“The future of the Woodland Park Police Department is in good hands,” Mayor Keith Kazmark said. “It was an honor and privilege to promote each of these deserving officers tonight. Rest assured you have the full support of the Mayor and Council and our entire community.” 

Chief Uzzalino assumed the Acting Chief position on March 20, 2020, just one day before the state’s COVID-19 initial pandemic shutdown. 

“I could not be more proud of Chief John Uzzalino for leading this department through one of the most trying periods in the history of the West Paterson and Woodland Park police departments,” Mayor Kazmark said.​
