Detective Christopher Giraldi and Patrolman Thomas Gurba are highly qualified and experienced riders. Both recently completed and graduated from an advanced police motor school in order to sharpen their skills for this new endeavor, according to the statement.

The Hillsborough Police Department is proud to announce the addition of a new Motorcycle Unit. The two new Harley Davidson FLHTP Motorcycles are fully outfitted with emergency lights and equipment for police use. “We are excited to start this new unit which will be a major contribution to many community policing initiatives going forward.” Chief McMahon stated.

DePaço, a Somerset County resident, is a longtime supporter of law enforcement and has made numerous donations of K-9’s and equipment to police departments across this country. Hillsborough Township was the very first department to receive a donation from DePaço to purchase a K-9 in 2012.

Officer Adam Ziegler knew that old and retired police dogs needed to be replaced, so he began to do some research about K-9 donations in 2019. Through another officer, he found out about someone who makes frequent donations of funds and equipment to the Deptford police, Dr. Cesar DePaço.
