Teaneck Detective Ed Kazmierczak has driven down Cedar Lane dozens of times since joining the township’s police department 16 years ago. Friday night, he took his patrol car for one last spin. Affectionately known as “Kaz,” the longtime detective is looking forward to working with other municipalities when he joins the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office on Monday -- although he’ll miss the place he’s long called home. “You could drop me off blindfolded in the middle of any street -- and some of them are puzzles.

Paramus Buy Buy Baby Donates Car Seat To Toddler With Heart Defect
MaryAnn LaBarbiera of Paramus was fully prepared last month to host an ailing Filipino baby and his mother. Or so she thought. The very day baby Lucas and his mom Ana Mallaria were arriving in the U.S. for life changing heart surgery, however, Paramus Police Sergeant Brian Linden spotted a problem. The car seat.

Five years ago, Riki Landa came to Garden State Jewelers in Teaneck to have a watch battery replaced. Owner Ryan Schwartz put a cold water bottle in her hands and kindly helped her with her watch.
