He graduated the intense program on June 11th after rigorously training for 22 weeks to ready himself to be a reliable partner to his fellow officers and to provide the best possible service to Borough residents and our visitors.
Last night, at the July Commissioners Meeting Bonczak repeated taking the Oath of Office, administered by Mayor Carney before his Chief and fellow officers, his family, friends and Borough Commissioners John Saban and Mike Marrone.
Following the ceremony, he received an Outstanding Service Accommodation from Police Chief Conte for recovering a weapon with his partner, Officer Stephen May within his first two weeks on the Force. Patrolman May also received an accommodation but was unable to attend the meeting.

Please see the below update on roadwork taking place today between Sartori Ave. and Remington Ave.
To The Residents of East Buckingham Ave.
On May 28 and 29 (Thursday and Friday), Earle Paving installed the bituminous base paving for the street reconstruction project. As the residents are aware, the contractor worked well into the dinner hour to complete the work. Typically we wait about a week or two after installing the base paving before constructing the final surface course. The contractor is scheduled to return to the side in a week or two to construct the surface course paving layer.
During the construction, a large wet soft area was encountered in the underlying soils. On Wednesday June 3, New Jersey American Water discovered a leak in an old connection on the water main resulting from a recent water service renewal request. It appears that the pipe has been leaking for approximately two months and contributed to the soft area encountered. Before paving the final surface course, Earle must remove and reconstruct the soft area in the street. We are currently working with the contractor to determine when this work will occur.
The Borough would like to thank everyone for their patience during the construction work.
Reminder! There is a borough meeting tonight at 7:00pm. The 2026 budget will be adopted at this meeting. The full agenda for tonight's meeting can be found here: https://mountephraim-nj.com/.../mount-ephraim-caucus-and.../
