MADISON, New Jersey — The Madison Police Department recognized several officers during its annual awards, including four members who received 2026 Life Saving Awards, according to TAPinto Madison.

The local report said the department honored officers for outreach, lifesaving actions, narcotics enforcement and meritorious service.

Two Life Saving Awards

Sergeant Bartlomiej Glab and Patrolman T.J. Meder received a 2026 Life Saving Award for “prompt, alert and decisive actions” that directly resulted in saving a life, according to TAPinto.

A second 2026 Life Saving Award was presented to Sergeant Julian Morales and Patrolman Andrew Marra for actions that also directly resulted in saving a life, the report said.

The source report did not publish additional medical or victim-identifying details about the lifesaving incidents, so ThinBlueNews is keeping the account limited to the verified award language and named recipients.

Outreach, investigations and service

The department also presented its Rose City Outreach Award to Sergeant Bartlomiej Glab, Pst. John Rafter, Patrolman Stephanie Corrao, Patrolman Travis Daniel, Patrolman Nelson Jimenez, Patrolman Michael Clancy, Patrolman Andrew Marra, School Resource Officer Thomas Downs, School Resource Officer Peter Frank and School Resource Officer Robert Deitch, according to TAPinto.

Detective Sergeant Kenneth Shannon, Detective Jerald Mantone and Detective Jonathan Finocchiaro received the Drug Buster Award for their work in a successful narcotics investigation, the report said.

Patrolman Nelson Jimenez received the 2026 Meritorious Service Award, which TAPinto described as recognizing a creditable act performed in the line of duty that is unusual in nature and demonstrates exceptional initiative and accomplishment.

For Support Law Enforcement readers, the Madison awards are a useful reminder that police work is not one lane. The same department can be recognized for lifesaving response, community outreach, school-resource work, narcotics investigations and quiet meritorious service.
