LINDEN, NJ — Linden High School students who are members of the Entrepreneurial Management Achievement Program recently hosted Linden Police Chief David Hart and members of his department for an informal, friendly meeting.
The officers talked about their work, and some students expressed an interest in exploring law enforcement. The Tuesday, Feb. 1, meeting lasted more than an hour.
Hart left the students with his contact information and said his “door is always open.”
