“We are pleased to announce these promotions today, as these officers have distinguished themselves in the performance of their duties to the citizens of our township,” Giangeruso said. “I know Lt. Giangeruso and Sgt. Abruscato will continue to provide the service that has earned them these promotions and will continue to be a credit to Lyndhurst.”
