Fair Haven Mourns Special Police Officer Robert Henne
With few words, Fair Haven police have announced that they are in mourning over the death of Special Officer Class II Robert Henne.
The announcement came over the Facebook page of fellow officer Jeff Jarvis on Monday night, whose cover page told of the retirement of badge number 216 — Henne’s.
“Rest in Peace Officer Robert Henne,” Jarvis’ Facebook post said. “End of watch, March 23, 2015.” He had died unexpectedly at his Fair Haven family home earlier in the day on Monday.
Henne was a 2010 Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School graduate. He was a high school athlete and police explorer as a teen. He rose up in the ranks of the Fair Haven Police Department from explorer to Class I officer and then Class II.
Henne received his promotion to Class II distinction in December of 2012 and was lauded by officials and colleagues for his professionalism and camaraderie. He was also a Fair Haven fireman.
The flag at Fair Haven Police Department headquarters, and throughout town, is at half staff.
RIP, Officer Henne.
A tribute to Officer Henne will follow.
