It’s National Police Week.
With that, the Retro Pic of the Day honors the Rumson Police Department with a glimpse of its officers of the past, courtesy of a photo from the Rumson PD Facebook page.
Whatever year it was, it looks as though there were eight officers in the department then.
Our guess, considering the uniforms, that Perri Eli was chief at the time.
The photo features: Henry Kruse, James Wallace, David Kenney, Edmond Desmond, Perri Eli, John Connett, Seth Johnson and William Zerr.

Have you thanked a police officer today?
