Messages of Sympathy and Support of John Tate’s passing from Ocean County. Lt. Tate dedicated 25 years of honorable service to the Seaside Heights Police Department before retiring in 2003. He later continued his service to the profession as Recruit Training Coordinator at the Ocean County Police Academy, where he prepared and mentored new officers, instilling in them the discipline, integrity, accountability, and commitment to service that defined his own career. He will be greatly missed.
