“We are confident Ptl. Dickens and K-9 Bane will have a positive impact in our community and surrounding communities,” Deputy Chief Philip Meehan said. K-9 Bane is partnered with Ptl. Robert Dickens, a three year veteran of the force.

The department tried to add a dog to its force last year, but budgetary constraints made it impossible. K-9 Bane was donated by Dr. Caesar DePaço and his wife Deanna Padovani-DePaço.

The DePaço’s are the founders, CEOs and presidents of the Summit K-9 Group, an organization that donates K-9s to police departments. Since their first donation in Hillsborough, the group has donated 30 K-9s to police departments across the county.

“Dr. DePaço and Deanna are passionate about dogs and true supporters of law enforcement,” Meehan said. “Their commitment to law enforcement, and specifically K-9 programs, is evident in the partnerships they have formed with agencies in need, kennels who supply the K-9’s and helping to establish the highest quality K-9 training centers.”

For their generosity, the DePaços were recognized at Tuesday’s ceremony with a proclamation from the Township and a plaque presented by the Holmdel Police Department.

Chief Goldsmith-

Good morning Chief, I hope this email finds you well. Please accept our deepest condolences on the tragic death of K9 Krijger. As a K9 handler myself I could not imagine such a loss.

Dr. Caesar DePaço, CEO and Founder of Summit Nutritionals International ®, and his wife Mrs. Deanna Padovani-DePaço, President, have a love for all animals, especially police K9’s. Since 2014, Summit Nutritionals International ® has played a vital role in keeping K9 Units across the country in service. Agencies such as Roanoke, VA Police Department, Oklahoma City, OK Police Department, Deal, NJ Police Department, Paris, France Raid Team and many more have accepted a donation of a K9 from Summit Nutritionals International ®. To date 18 agencies across the world have accepted Police K9 donations.

Dr. DePaço has a love for police K9’s and a respect for all law enforcement and the job they do. The support given to agencies has made a huge impact for some that would no longer have a K9 unit.

Vohne Liche Kennels is our chosen kennel of choice for all K9 donations. Mr. Kenneth Licklider, Owner and Founder, has been cc’d on this email. Mr. Licklider is the largest and most respected kennel in the United States and I know your trainers will find the best K9 to join the ranks of your elite K9 Unit.

If you or your command staff have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Respectfully,

Chris Engelhardt, K9 Officer Liaison

Dr. Caesar DePaço and his wife, Deanne Padovani-DePaço, were awarded a plaque and named honorary deputy sheriff by Morris County Sheriff Edward V. Rochford at the county’s K-9 facility for their contributions to the Deal Police Department and the Morris County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit.

“The K-9 unit is spectacular,” Rochford said in front of a small gathering of officers from the sheriff’s office, Deal and Hillsborough, among others. “I admire them. They know I support them tremendously.”

Prior to presenting the DePaço family with a plaque, Sgt. Aaron Tomasini, who conducts hands on training with the K-9 dogs, expressed his gratitude.

“From deep down, (I am) very much appreciative,” he said, “to get these K-9 officers and help get them out in the public.”

Dr. Caesar DePaço is the founder and CEO of Branchburg-based Summit Nutritionals International ®, a manufacturer of raw nutritional supplements. Deanne Padovani-DePaço is the President of the company. Together, they have both donated more than 13 dogs to agencies around the country, from Maryland to Oklahoma City.

In an interview earlier this year, Padovani-DePaço said she and her husband donated their first dog to the Hillsborough Police Department in 2013. After that, Padovani-DePaço said the feelings of gratitude and fulfillment became addicting.

“It feels super great to see the emotion and the reaction of the recipients of the dogs,” Padovani-DePaço said. “They are always so humble and grateful.”

On Wednesday morning, Padovani-DePaço echoed a similar sentiment.

“This is the least of the honor,” she said, as she held the plaque (Dr. Caesar DePaço was not present because he was in Florida, where he serves as the  Honorary Consul of Portugal in Palm Coast, Florida). “The honor is to assist the K-9 unit not only in this county but also in the nation…we’re so grateful to be a part of your team.”

Along with the plaque, the DePaço’s were also named Honorary Deputy Sheriffs by Rochford, who quipped about the two using the title to their advantage when traveling across the country.

“When you’re doing 90 miles an hour in Arizona and you get stopped, tell them you’re with us,” he said.

Following the brief awards ceremony, Tomasini led a demonstration of how officers train and deploy K-9 units in the field. He said Morris County has 14 K-9 dogs in service with seven handlers. In all, K-9 units can be deployed to all 39 municipalities in Morris County, Tomasini said.

He said obedience is key with training the dogs.

“It’s just like a child,” he said. “If a child can (be taught to) listen, so can our dogs.”

Tomasini said the dogs in Morris County can handle an array of tasks in the field, from chasing down fleeing subjects to sniffing for explosives and narcotics.

He also touted the dogs’ abilities to go above and beyond what a human officer is capable of. Tomasini said K-9 dogs instill feelings of fear in a subject that a human cannot, and that their speed and agility is unparalleled to humans.

“Every time I come do an apprehension (with a K-9 dog), I win,” Tomasini said.

A fund-raiser for the Bernardsville Fire Company and First Aid Squad and Bernardsville Senior Citizens, the event will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. It is being presented by the Bernardsville Chamber of Commerce.

“We’re very excited,’’ said Caesar Mistretta Sr., executive director of the chamber. “We’re pleased that we are totally booked as far as restaurants and vendors.

“It’s a taste, not a sit-down dinner,’’ he explained. “We’re happy that it’s a nice variety of food in addition to a great deal of desserts. And of the net proceeds will go the Bernardsville Fire Company and senior citizens.’’

“We have about 20 restaurants participating and about 15 vendors,’’ added Joseph Rossi, the chamber’s senior vice president. “We think it’s going to be a great start for a new event, a change of pace.’’

Participating restaurants provide the food free of charge as a way of showcasing their menus. The cost is $50 per person.

“One price covers all,’’ Rossi said. “Whatever the restaurants feel is their top of the line items.’’

Adult beverages will also be available for sale by the restaurant.

“The Olde Mill Inn is giving us their facility at a fraction of what it normally costs so they really are our lead benefactor,’’ Mistretta noted. “They are giving us not only the banquet hall but also the various other public places and exteriors of the hotel.’’

“The ambiance of the place is really gong to create the mood,’’ added Rossi. “It’s a beautiful complex.

“We’re happy for the support and the generosity of the restaurants, the sponsors and the vendors that have come forward to help raise money for these organizations,’’ he added.

Music will be provided by D-J Michael Spinnato from Eclipse Entertainment in Bernardsville.

For this year at least, the new event will replace the chamber’s annual Unity Day celebration, an outdoor benefit that has been held on the grounds surrounding the municipal pond. While Unity Day was always contingent on weather, the taste won’t have that problem, Mistretta noted.

The chamber has secured a number of sponsors for the event, including Summit Nutritionals International ®, the platinum sponsor, and Audi of Bernardsville, its gold sponsor. Mistretta said he expects the sponsorships will cover basic operating costs, with the focus now on ticket sales.
