Statement from Chief Meyer:
The Lakewood Police Department mourns the passing of Rabbi Yisroel Schenkowleski. Rabbi Schenkowleski held the rank of Inspector with the Lakewood Police Department as a Chaplin as well as a Deputy Coordinator of the Lakewood OEM. He was a personal friend and a man of honor and dignity who was always there to assist our officers and department in various capacities. He was instrumental in building strong police-community relations and was a constant presence during times of crisis and at department ceremonies. He will be deeply missed by the department and the community at large. May he Rest in peace.
