The Brick Republican organization hosted a Police Appreciation Dinner this week, in support of law enforcement and the Brick Township Police Department.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the last couple of years the climate in this country toward our law enforcement officials has deteriorated to an alarming rate,\u201d said John Catalano, Republican Club President. \u201cUnder the theme \u2018I\u2019m mad as hell and I\u2019m not going to take it anymore,\u2019\u00a0the Brick Township Republican Club decided that the only way to change this disturbing trend is through a grass roots\/local effort since the national leaders refuse to address it.\u201d<\/p>\n
