“Trooper Bethea embodied the core values of the New Jersey State Police: Honor, Duty, and Fidelity, said Governor Murphy. “We owe a debt of gratitude to our State Police troopers that bravely and selflessly serve the people of New Jersey each day. This tragic loss has been felt across the state and Tammy and I send our deepest condolences to Trooper Bethea’s family, friends, and his fellow troopers.”
