Bocchini stated that this kind of interagency cooperation is not a new approach. For years, my Special Investigations Unit has worked in conjunction with local, state and federal partners on targeted investigations, and we will continue to do so, Bocchini said. Now we have expanded that strategy to crime suppression, as we did in 2005 with the Regional Violent Crime Interdiction Task Force. It is essential that Trenton is able to secure its streets and protect its citizens. I am pleased that the Mercer County Prosecutors Office and Sheriffs Department will be assisting the Trenton Police Department with crime suppression, Acting Police Director Dave Armitage said. They have been assisting our department with investigations for some time and the additional field officers will aid in preventing the violence before it occurs. Ive dedicated most of my career to public service and law enforcement, and Im well aware that a few extra men and women on the street will not stop crime in its tracks, but it will make a difference, Bocchini stated. Law enforcement is going to make its presence felt. ###
