TOMS RIVER-On January 4th, The New Jersey State Police notified the Toms River Police Department of a serious crash involving one of their own officers.
Twenty eight year old Officer Brett Hansen was traveling on the Garden State Parkway in his personal vehicle near mile marker 90. He was off duty at the time his vehicle collided with a large truck.
Officer Hansen, who has been assigned to the patrol division since being hired in August 2015, sustained life threatening injuries.
Before joining the Toms River Police Department, Hansen worked for the Camden County.
The town police departments came together to show their support for Hansen and his family by playing a hockey game at Winding River Skating Center in Toms River on Saturday, February 18th.
Hansen’s injuries were severe. He had serious facial damage, losing his left eye and he may never see again out of his right eye. Hansen’s mother said he remains in a coma and it is not known yet how badly his brain has suffered damage.
His recovery could take years, but on May 17th, his benefits run out as he is forced to go on disability. Being a young officer, disability payments will be minimal and the family has set up a Go Fund Me account.
To date, $32,000 has been raised by the Ocean County and New Jersey police community at large.
While the Toms River Police won the hockey game, it was a bigger win for Team Hansen and the great Toms River region who came to support a young man who dreamed of one day becoming a police officer.

Brick Township High School defended itself against parents and adults who criticized the school and it’s wrestlers over the handling of an opportunity to showcase a wrestler with disabilities.
“During this year’s Brick vs Brick Memorial Wrestling match, there was a wonderful opportunity to showcase a very special young man, David Richards,” the district said. “Unfortunately, this opportunity was missed, due to the poor planning, communication and decision making on the part of adults from both schools and administration.”
What could have been a conversation about courage and acceptance turned into something negative, the district said.
“The students on both wrestling teams respect and admire the courage that David exhibits every day,” they added. “It is sad that misinformed adults on social media have questioned our wrestlers’ character and motives, for which they are completely wrong.”
Brick Township High School and its students have a long history of embracing exceptional students.
The Challenger league and many other fine organizations serving students with disabilities began at this school.
“Today, the entire Brick Township High School community celebrates David’s achievements and congratulates him on his Wrestler of the Week Honors,” the district said.
David got his shot to wrestle three days later against Middletown North.
