樱桃山市长任命罗伯特·肯普夫为警察局长
市长苏珊·辛·安古洛和市议会主席大卫·弗莱舍高兴地宣布，樱桃山终身居民、在樱桃山警察局工作了22年的罗伯特·肯普夫被任命为下一任警察局长。
拥有罗格斯大学（Rutgers University）法学博士和工商管理硕士学位的肯普夫将立即成为代理首席，并将在明年1月的理事会会议上通过决议正式任命为首席。
“Acting Chief Kempf embodies the best of our world-class police department. He is a dedicated public servant, a forward-thinking leader and deeply engaged member of the Cherry Hill community,” said Mayor Susan Shin Angulo. “I know our police department will continue to be a model for excellence, and will exceed the highest standards in policing under his direction."
最近，肯普夫曾担任专业标准和训练部门的中尉，训练主任和特别行动小组指挥官。 他于1998年11月加入樱桃山警察局，担任巡警，2011年成为网络犯罪部门的一名侦探。 他还担任过巡逻部门的中士和中尉，以及调查部门的侦探警长。
“镇委员会 and I have the utmost confidence in Acting Chief Kempf. His decades of experience, educational background and dedication to our community make him an excellent fit for the role,” said Council President David Fleisher. “We look forward to working with him, and extend our gratitude to Capt. Larry Robb for his hard work and stewardship over these past few months. I’d also like to thank Councilwoman Carole Roskoph, Councilwoman Sangeeta Doshi and Councilman Bill Carter for their participation in the rigorous interview process.”
Robb has served as Acting Chief following the retirement of former Chief William “Bud” Monaghan in September. 在过去的几个月里，经过广泛的申请和面试，肯普夫被选中。
“I am honored and humbled to assume command of the 樱桃山警察 Department. As a lifelong resident of Cherry Hill, this is the honor of a lifetime,” Acting Chief Robert Kempf said. “This Police department is the best in New Jersey and I look forward to leading the men and women into the future. I am confident we will work together to provide continued exceptional service to the residents of Cherry Hill.”
肯普夫1990年毕业于西樱桃山大学。 He earned a bachelor’s of science degree in management from Rutgers University in 1995, a masters of business administration from Rutgers University School of Business in 2001 and a juris doctor degree from Rutgers University School of Law in 2010. 他也是联邦调查局国家学院的2017年毕业生，并获得了弗吉尼亚大学的研究生成绩证书。 He lives on the West side of Cherry Hill with his wife Christine, son Robbie and daughters Alexandra and Charlotte.
作为卫生防护中心的负责人，他将管理约170名员工，其中包括134名全职宣誓执法人员，6名特别执法人员和11名调度员，以及行政人员和记录人员。 该部门平均每年有超过12万次服务电话，覆盖24.1平方英里，代表大约7.5万人口。
