The Italian American Police Society of New Jersey is proud to announce the election of Jersey City Police Detective Thomas SanFilippo to its Executive Board. Detective Thomas SanFilippo knew from an early age that he wanted to pursue a career in law enforcement – at the age of 16, he enrolled in the Roxbury Police Explorers program, transitioning to a Roxbury Township Police/Fire/EMS dispatcher in the year 2000.
