It is with tremendous sadness that Police Chief Daniel J. McCaffery announces the passing of Roselle Park Police Officer Edward Nortrup. Patrolman Nortrup was a 13 year veteran of the Roselle Park Police Department. Patrolman Nortrup was a co-worker, friend, and a brother. Patrolman Nortrup attended the John H. Stamler Police Academy graduating in 2007. Patrolman Nortrup served in the Detective Bureau, and had been a member of the Union County Emergency Response Team. Always willing to help others, Patrolman Nortrup was a well-respected member of the law-enforcement community, and will be sorely missed. We would ask that you respect the privacy of the family during this time of grieving.
