NPBD & HCCC Raise Funds for Special Olympics at Charity Basketball Game

The North Bergen Police Department faced off against Hudson County Community College on Thursday, Apr. 25, 2019 as the two teams took to the basketball court to raise funds for the New Jersey Special Olympics.

The dramatic match-up in the North Bergen Recreation Center gym pitched members of the PD against HCCC faculty and students in Professor Richard Walker’s criminal justice class, with close scores throughout the game, culminating in the students pulling ahead for a 69 to 65 win.

About $800 was raised for the charity thanks to the generous efforts of the department and the school.
