Parsippany Unites to Support John Sierchio for Sheriff

PARSIPPANY — Parsippany-Troy Hills Mayor James Barberio and Councilman Paul Carifi, Jr., unites to support John Sierchio for Sheriff.

“John Sierchio is exactly the what Parsippany needs as Sheriff. His vision on community outreach programs would benefit the residents of Parsippany greatly” said Mayor James Barberio.

“After spending over 25 years with the Morris County Sheriff’s Office, I know first hand that John Sierchio is best person to continue the legacies of Sheriff John Fox and Sheriff Ed Rochford” said Councilman Paul Carifi Jr.

“Sierchio’s leadership skills will certainly benefit the taxpayers of Morris County and the employees of the Sheriff’s Office,” continued Carifi.

Sheriff Edward Rochford said “Over the last two years, I have vetted out a number of candidates looking for who I believe to be best to run this agency  in this new era of drugs, criminal activity and terrorism. I firmly believe with full confidence that John Sierchio is the best man for this job hands down. His experience in real law enforcement is by far superior than that of his opponents. Also, his experience in negotiating, having over a decade of experience negotiating from both sides of the table, will allow him to be effective, fair and reasonable. Adding to this his 37 years of volunteer public service, it is an example of his passion to serve; both of which qualities are absent in his opponents’ backgrounds. John’s work ethic and integrity is second to none. I can not say enough about John Sierchio and I hope that you continue to trust me and cast your vote on Tuesday, June 7 for John G. Sierchio.”

John Sierchio, a former Bloomfield police officer, is seeking the Republican nomination for Morris County sheriff, says that if elected, he’ll launch special efforts to combat heroin addiction and abuse of children and spouses.

“There probably isn’t a person who hasn’t been touched in some way or another by the explosion of opiate and heroin abuse in our communities,” Sierchio, of Boonton Township.

Sierchio retired as a police officer in 2014 after working in Essex County for 27 years.

Although the sheriff’s main responsibilities involve overseeing security at the county courthouse in Morristown and running day-to-day operations at the county jail, Sierchio said he intends to begin the two special efforts and also will institute a line-by-line auditing report of the sheriff’s budget to investigate areas to save taxpayer dollars.

As soon as he takes office, Sierchio said, he will appoint a committee made up of law enforcement officials, community leaders and former addicts that will have 100 days to come up with an education plan “to aggressively combat heroin addiction in Morris County.”

During his years as a police officer, Sierchio rose to the rank of detective sergeant. Sierchio worked as an Essex County police officer and an Essex County sheriff’s officer prior to serving for 22 years on the Bloomfield Police Department, where his duties included internal affairs.

Sierchio also served for 17 years as a PBA representative and 12 years as trustee on the state’s Police and Fireman’s Retirement System — five years as chairman.

John is married with four children and lives with his family in Boonton Township, where he has served as a Member of the Board of Education since 2008.  John is a member of many organizations, including the New Jersey State PBA, the Italian American Police Society, and is a Life Member of the National Rife Association.
