On behalf of The Newark Police Department and The Newark Police Superior Officers' Association we send the Adams' Family our deepest sympathies on the passing of Captain Adams. Although I never had the opportunity to work with Captain Adams I used to speak with Matty about the NPD in the good old days and WW II. He would always call me this this time of year so I could mail him his SOA cards and coffee mug.
