Roth to be named chief in Freehold
FREEHOLD - Police Capt. Mitch Roth was expected to be promoted to chief of the Freehold Borough Police Department on Monday by the Borough Council.
The promotion and swearing in of Roth as the department's new chief appeared on Monday's council meeting agenda. The evening meeting took place after the News Transcript's deadline for this week's edition.
Roth, 46, has been serving as the officer in charge of the department since former chief Michael Beier-schmitt retired on April 1. Beierschmitt had been chief since 2000.
Roth has been a police officer for 24 years. He was promoted to the rank of captain in March 2006 after serving as a lieutenant since October 2000.
Roth is a graduate of Freehold Township High School and Monmouth College (now Monmouth University), where he majored in sociology and criminal justice. He went on to earn a master's degree in resources, training and development at Seton Hall University.
In a previous interview, Roth said he believes his educational background helps him to better serve not only people in the community, but the people he works with as well.
"I think it opens up more avenues of understanding," he said.
Roth's career has included work with the Monmouth County Narcotics Strike Force. In October 1994 Roth was promoted to sergeant and in 1999 he started the Joint Investigative Team and commanded that unit for almost two years.
Following his promotion to lieutenant in October 2000 he attended the Drug Unit Commander Academy in Quantico, Va., and Penn State University's Police Executive Development Course. He attended Northwestern University's Police School of Staff and Command at Fort Dix in 2002 and learned development of patrol analysis, development of manpower and budgeting.
He returned to Quantico in 2005 to the FBI National Academy where he studied stress management, leadership, labor employee law and media relations, and criminal research.
