Why State Guard Units/State Defense Force Units (the Naval Militia being the equivalent in NJ) are not only needed in every State, but are a crucial component of Homeland Security

 

California State Military ReserveThe California State Military Reserve (CSMR) is the equivalent to the New Jersey Naval Militia and the other 26 existing state guard units across the United States (see State Guard Association below), which is an all-volunteer (18 - 63) State Defense Force--authorized by United States Code (32 USC 109c)--whose primary mission is to support the California National Guard (CNG) in its Homeland Security missions such as Disaster Mitigation Recovery, Small Arms Weapons Training, Military Police, etc. The New Jersey Naval Militia and the New Jersey State Guard are organized as a single joint regiment designated as the New Jersey Naval Militia Joint Command (NJNMJC). NJNMJC is organized and controlled pursuant to N.J.S.A. 38A:1-3(a) and N.J.S.A. 38A:3-6. NJNMJC was originally authorized by the Governor of New Jersey in 1894. It is a state militia force only. After being deactivated and absorbed by the US Naval Reserve in 1963, it was reactivated by former Governor Whitman in 1999. The mission of the NJNMJC is to provide naval support and other specialized assistance to governmental agencies within New Jersey by providing a highly trained component of the organized militia to respond to the call of the Governor in the event of terrorist attacks, natural disasters, homeland security requirements, or other public services and support missions. The NJNMJC provided over 8,000 man days in support of Operation Noble Eagle, 11 Sept. 2001 to 31 July 2002. Since July 2002, the NJNMJC has been under orders to cease all active operational missions. It receives no funding and is not allowed to recruit new members. The only recognition or support the NJNMJC receives from the State of New Jersey is space for headquarters at Ft. Dix and drill assembly training space in the Plainfield Armory. The organization has kept current on topics such as weapons of mass destruction, hazardous materials, counterterrorism and the national response plan. Additionally, it has received certifications as a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and basic Military Emergency Management Specialist (MEMS). The NJNMJC is actively pursuing the Senior and Master MEMS certification (see Governor Chris Christie’s DMAVA Transition Report on the Department of Military and Veterans’ Affairs for more details located at http://www.state.nj.us/governor/ ). When the NJ Naval Militia was reactivated by Governor Christie Todd Whitmann in 1999, it had bi-partisan support by both Democrats and Republicans--please call your Governor, State Senators and Assemblymen and ask them to take the NJ Naval Militia off "stand down" mode and start recruiting new members. This would save our State and local governments a lot of money and be very beneficial to the Homeland Security operations in the State of New Jersey. Unfortunately, the existing Adjutant General Glenn K. Reith—who was appointed in 2002-- has been indifferent and non-supportive to the Naval Militia, which is regrettable considering many retired and active high ranking military officers and former adjutant General’s fully support the Naval Militia and appreciate the benefits it brings to the Homeland Security function in the State of New Jersey, especially on 911. The different agencies should put aside their petty jealousies and work for the benefit of the people instead trying to protect their fiefdoms. Governor Chris Christie (who is an honorable man and believes in truth, justice and honesty) should put a stop to this non-sense and allow recruitment of new members for the Naval Militia. (See article entitled States’ Rights rebellion over National Guard located at http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=122689 —many states and Governors across the nation are concerned by the Federalization of the National Guard; at least the State Guard units such as the Naval Militia stay under the control of the Governor.)

Consolidation of Police Departments

All New Jersey township police departments should be merged into the county Sheriff's Department with satellite offices in each township if needed. [Your county police departments (do not start a separate county police force or merge existing township police departments; this would end up being very costly) are already established through your Sheriffs' Departments and would be advantageous to merge the existing township police departments in each county into their existing county Sheriff's Department--I have spoken to many retired New Jersey State Troopers and former or current Sheriffs who agree that the local police departments should be merged into one county police force. It should also be noted that former county Judge Thomas J. Beetel of Flemington, NJ (who served in World War II in Naval Intelligence--China) proposed having the Sheriff’s Office patrol the county and former Mayor Andrew Leon of Delaware Township, NJ (who served in World War II as a Navy Seabee—Guam and Bikini Atoll) was against starting a township police department. The NJ Clinton (actual location is in Perryville) State Police Barracks has one Lieutenant to oversee over 30 New Jersey State Troopers; Kingwood Township the NJ State Police patrol the area because Kingwood Township has no township police department and is considerably less costly that having their own police department (under an agreement with the State years ago, the township does not have to pay for their service, but it would still be considerably lower in cost if they had to pay for the police service compared to having their own police department ).]  This will not only lower the overall cost, but would be very beneficial for Homeland Security. The current cost of having individual township police departments in New Jersey is astronomical and is totally unnecessary (with the exception of city police departments and park rangers); for example, a local police Dept. in Hunterdon County is 23% of the boro’s budget as of 2008—they patrol 1.3 square miles/3.37 square kilometers. (Note: This percentage does not necessarily account for the true cost of operating a township police department—when the full costs are accounted properly such as pensions, the percentage cost can be anywhere from 30% to 50% of the townships’ budget.) Also, the pension ratio was raised from 60% to 65% after 25 years. Each individual township police dept. has a chief, Captains, Lieutenants, Sergeants, etc.  [The township police departments could be gradually phased out over a period of 15 to 20 years—this would allow for no layoffs of current police officers’ and a smooth transition to the Sheriff’s Office.]  There should be no age limit, which is the current policy for Sheriffs' Departments--there are a lot of retired military personnel and other highly qualified individuals that are in excellent physical shape and are valuable assets to the many Sheriffs' Departments across this nation. (The current police academies in New Jersey should offer a night and weekend program for individuals who work full-time and need to be certified—not full-time only.) See National Sheriffs' Association" , "Pennsylvania Sheriffs' Association" and Sheriff Mack of Arizona on why the Sheriff’s Department is the most important law enforcement agency in the United States for protecting citizens’ rights. See article on "Public Turf War Engulfs State Sheriffs".

[There is little accountability with your local police departments—if the Sheriff’s Department is mistreating the citizens of a county such as unauthorized traffic stops, the Sheriff can be voted out and is more likely to take a citizen’s complaint seriously; this is not the case with local police departments that are out of control and have far too many officers. It should be noted that the Hunterdon County Freeholder’s decision made in the 1980’s to take away control of the county jail from the Sheriff’s Department was stupid and cost the taxpayers more money by putting it under the control of the Division of Corrections, which is now under the Department of Public Safety created in 2005—see DPS. Hunterdon County did not have a Division of Corrections until it was created by the Freeholders in the 1980's and it should also be mentioned that Atlantic County Sheriff's Department is in charge of the patrol operations—yes, the sheriff officers patrol the county. Communications and the county jail should be under the control of the Sheriff’s Department. Also, Pennsylvania’s District Attorneys (New Jersey’s equivalent to the Prosecutor) are elected—see PDA website.] Also, see Local Government Tab to read about the Sheriff’s Office advisory report that would not be released by the Freeholders for the police merger report done by Blue Shield of Morristown.

Unfortunately, you have a lot of misinformed township committee members and county freeholders who are either afraid and do not want to do what is right for the taxpayers (the Federal government and State governments are going broke or are already broke) or they have a vested interest in keeping these high cost township police departments.  One township committee member told me that their salaries and huge pay increases are justified because they carry a gun—the township committee person is very misguided to make such a statement (there are many security guards, and military police that carry guns and law-abiding citizens in many states that have a concealed carry license—this does not warrant out of control salaries).  Police/Detectives are listed as number six (6) on the list when is comes to fatalities and did not even make the top ten (10) for injuries incurred on the job according to the U.S. Dept. of Labor. Many of the fatalities involve highway accidents and the homicide fatalities were in more dangerous and populated areas—click and read Most Dangerous Jobs on PDF.  Also, see article on the Township of Clay (New York) on consolidation plan for their township police dept. into the Sheriff’s Dept., which could reduce the operating budget by 58%—click and read The Town of Clay in NY may Abolish Police Dept. on PDF. 

A recently released FBI 176-page report titled "Violent Encounters: A Study of Felonious Assaults on America's Law Enforcement Officers."

Summary of report:

  • Criminals do not get their guns through gun shows.
  • Criminals do not find "loopholes" in the law through which they get their guns.
  • Anti-gun laws do not stop criminals from getting guns; in fact, they don't even appear to slow criminals down.
  • The 33 handguns used to assault the officers who participated in the current study, 32 (97 percent) were obtained illegally. Eighteen of these were purchased or traded from other [criminals]; six were obtained during burglaries; four were taken from the victim officers during the incidents of examination; two were stolen during larcenies; one was stolen during a homicide; and one was illegally purchased from a firearm dealer in a store (straw purchase by a female associate). None of the rifles, shotguns or handguns connected with this study were obtained from gun shows or related activities.
  • The federal government has passed many laws to restrict and limit firearm purchases. The offenders in this research, however, stated that none of these laws or statutes deterred them.

Note: I want to compliment New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson (Democrat) with signing a bill (04/06/05) that improves the State's "shall-issue" concealed weapons carry system and encourages reciprocal agreements with other States--NJ should immediately change its law to "shall-issue".  Rep. Harold Ford, Jr. (D-TN) should also be complimented for his strong support of law abiding citizens the right to bear arms. One of the biggest supporters for the right of citizens to defend themselves isLouisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (Republican) and the nation’s first Indian (Punjabi) American governor and Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX). Any politician not supporting a citizen’s right to defend themselves (2nd Amendment) is not interested in Homeland Security, but wants a police state (see article entitled Former Intelligence Chief (MI5) in Britain warns about police state).  A quote from a speech Attorney General John Ashcroftgave on 09/21/07 at the Celebration of American Values at the Capital Hilton in Washington, D.C.: “Any law passed by Congress which does not increase liberty is a bad law.”

Special Note: I am a firm believer in safety and training. All States should have uniform standards/ requirements for "concealed carry permit holders", which should consist of the following training courses:

  • Basic Pistol--14 hours;
  • Personal Protection Safety outside the home--14 hours;
  • Personal Protection in Home--8 hours; and
  • Home Firearm Safety--4 hours

(See the following website for the above training courses: http://www.nrahq.org/education/training/find.asp?State=NJ&Type=HFS )

A special designation could be offered on the "concealed carry" permit for "security personnel", which would require special training courses.

The "concealed carry license" should be a high quality license such as Florida's--the same quality as a photo drivers license. Because of the political situation in New Jersey, I think the above would be satisfactory to all members in the State Senate and Assembly including the Governor.  The "concealed carry license" could also authorize the NJ citizen to purchase the so-called "assault rifles", which are not fully automatic and account for less than one-half of 1 percent of violent crime. This would be a big help for the police, military personnel and sportsmen/sportswomen who compete in shooting competitions and contribute to homeland security. The current States (36) with "shall-issue" carry permits have an impeccable record.

Mossberg Survival Kit

Recommended: Mossberg Survival Kit for Family. (See the following website: http://www.mossberg.com/products/default.asp?id=28 .) If you are not armed to protect yourself and family from terrorist attacks, looting, national disaster incidents, or a national invasion, then you have not taken Homeland Security seriously and have abdicated your responsibility in protecting your family and country. Switzerland requires every Swiss male citizen to own a fully-automatic rifle and the government pays for it!

Caveat from President:  No amount of preparedness by the government can guarantee protection of this nation from further disasters if the citizens and government officials continue to thumb their noses at the true God.  "Then I saw another angel flying overhead with the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth-to every nation, tribe, language, and people. He said in a loud voice, 'Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. Worship the one who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water'". (Revelation 14:6-7, ISV.)
