Introducing Our New Chief of Police – Guy Maire
By Mayor Daniel T. Rodrick:
TOMS RIVER, NJ – It is with great pride that I announce my appointment of Guy Maire as the new Chief of Police for Toms River Township. Chief Maire, a dedicated officer with over 33 years of service to our community, embodies the true spirit of leadership and commitment.
Guy Maire has been an integral part of Toms River’s law enforcement family, having begun his career as a police officer more than three decades ago. Over the years, Maire has not only showcased an unwavering dedication to public safety, but has also helped raise four wonderful children right here in Toms River. His deep roots in our community, as a proud husband and family man, underscore his commitment to fostering a safe and nurturing environment for all residents.
Last year, I had the privilege of promoting Guy to the rank of Captain, recognizing his exemplary service and the leadership qualities he has consistently demonstrated. Maire’s outstanding performance over the years, particularly in overseeing the Patrol Division, has set a benchmark for excellence within our police force.
As Chief, I am confident that Guy will continue to build upon the solid foundation laid by his predecessors. His work ethic is nothing short of extraordinary. Chief Maire routinely goes above and beyond, demonstrating a level of dedication that inspires both his police colleagues and community members alike. His ability to connect with the public, alongside his strategic approach to policing, ensures that all residents of Toms River can feel safe and secure.
Chief Maire embodies all the qualities of an exceptional leader. He possesses immense integrity, empathy, and sound judgment—attributes that are crucial in law enforcement. I believe that under his guidance, our Police Department will be well-equipped to adapt to future challenges while remaining steadfast in its mission to serve and protect. His vision for the department focuses not only on fighting crime, but also on community engagement, fostering trust, and enhancing the quality of life for all our citizens.
As we welcome Guy Maire into this esteemed role, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for his dedicated service. His remarkable journey from officer to Chief exemplifies the opportunity for growth and leadership within our department. I am excited to see how his passion and commitment will shape the department moving forward.
Our community is in good hands with Guy at the helm. I encourage all residents to join me in congratulating him on this well-deserved promotion. Together, we look forward to a promising future under Chief Maire’s leadership, where safety, integrity, and community connection will remain our highest priorities.
Sincerely,
Daniel T. Rodrick
Mayor – Toms River Township
