The First Police ordinance authorizing the office of a marshal in the Borough of Bradley Beach was passed on April 19, 1893. The first marshal, Charles A. Bennett was appointed that same month and assigned to work six months of day shifts and six months of night shifts.
The first sworn Chief of Police was Charles J. Poland who served from 1935 to 1950. The second Chief of Police was Robert E. Farry from 1950 to 1951, at which time he was elected as a borough commissioner. The third Chief of Police was Harvey T. Gaunt who was appointed chief in 1951 and served in that capacity until his retirement on December 31, 1971. The fourth Chief of Police was Eugene T. Myles who was appointed in 1972 and served until 1988. Alfred E. Trimble was the next chief serving from 1988 to 1992.Robert DeNardo was appointed in July 1992 and served until 2006. The current Chief of Police is Leonard A. Guida, who was appointed on January 4, 2007.
The operation of the police department has changed dramatically through the years, from foot patrols and “on the beat cop” to the use of bicycle patrols and marked police vehicles. The Bradley Beach Police Department currently has five marked police vehicles outfitted with the latest equipment such as mobile computer terminals, video camera recorders, speed radar units and a life saving CPR/defibrillator packs.
As the Borough has grown, so has the police department. The department currently has eighteen full time officers. The structure of the department has grown as well, with officers assigned to the detective bureau, bicycle patrol, traffic safety, community services and the D.A.R.E. Program. Within the department there are four full-time police dispatchers and a secretary. School crossing guards, police matrons and special officers complement the department and provide additional security to our children during school hours and our beachfront population during the summer.
The Bradley Beach Police Department has come a long way since 1893 and under the leadership of Chief Leonard A. Guida will continue to meet the needs of the residents and protect and serve the community.

DUNE GRASS
Picturesque though they are, coastal sand dunes and Dune Grass serve a more important purpose than beauty. Dunes act as flexible barriers to ocean storm surges and waves, protect low-lying areas, catch wind blown sand aiding in the prevention of beach erosion, and may provide a habitat for animals and birds. DUNE GRASS is very weak. If you step on it, the whole plant will die. With this in mind, while you are enjoying our beaches, please do not touch the Dune Grass. Thank you.

Tax Assessment
The primary responsibility of the Tax Assessor’s Office is to equally distribute the property tax burden among its property owners. Equally distributing the tax burden involves maintaining a list of property owners and raising and lowering assessments. The assessments are amended due to demolitions, property improvements and appeals. The Director of the Division of Taxation also requires the Assessor’s Office to assist with a sales ratio study. The ratio study is used by the State of New Jersey to determine the amount of State Aid distributed to School Districts. The ratio is also used to determine the amount of county taxes each municipality pays.
Long ago the Constitution of New Jersey established a property tax to pay for municipal services, local schools, and county services. The tax was based on a system known as “Ad Val Orem”. An Ad Val Orem tax is based on value. This means the higher valued properties pay more than lower valued properties.
The assessment of a property is directly related to its market value. The general tax rate times the assessment is a property owner’s yearly tax burden. The general tax rate is made up of several different components. Those components are the school rate, the municipal rate, fire district rate and county rate. Each individual rate is created by dividing the total assessments in a municipality by the individual budget.
