The oath was administered during the association’s December holiday meeting, attended by more than 100 law enforcement officers and traffic safety professionals.
Chief Ellis will serve a two-year term, succeeding Deputy Chief Nickolas Schock of the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office.

Founded in 1974, the NJPTOA focuses on improving traffic safety through public education, advocacy, and professional development. The organization represents approximately 800 members from law enforcement agencies statewide.
