II. From June 19th, 1865 until June 24th, 1865, the position was filled by Samuel Smack. This was the shortest period of time that anyone held this office as Mr. Smack declined the position after a five day trial.

III. Captain William Martin was the next appointed Marshal. The banner advertising his appointment read as follows:

"After considerable difficulty in an effort to find a man willing to take the Marshal-ship, with it's honors, fees, salary, and prerequisites and privileges, the Common Council made a lucky hit in securing Captain William Martin who, when dressed in his uniform as Chief of Police, will make an imposing appearance, add to the dignity of our city, and strike a wholesome dread to the very center of the disorderly element in our city, causing them to simmer down to the bottom of society like coffee grains drop in a basin of dishwater. We caution all scalawags that the Captain won't stand for any nonsense."

"I have today suspended Chief Herbert C. Wildey of the Morristown Police Department and placed Officer Fred Roff in charge thereof. I am compelled to make this change because on August 4th, 1933, almost 2 months ago, I notified the Police Department in no uncertain terms that they should forthwith close up every licensed place that is permitting gambling or any other form of commercial vice, and to see that the licensed places are complying with the law. At that time, I stated that if the Police Department was not able to carry out the orders of the board and clean up the Town, it was my intention to get a Police Department that could."

XXI. Chief Fred A. Roff - appointed in 1933

Under Chief Roff, the department went up to 24 men, including a Captain, Lieutenants and Sergeants. The department had two way radio cars that could reach any point within the Town in 2 minutes. The departmental uniform was fashioned after that of the New York City Police Department.
