\"\"<\/a>Sheriff Peter Corvelli announced the appointment of former Linden (NJ) Police Chief Jonathan Parham as an Undersheriff of Union County, effective\u00a0 this Friday.<\/p>\n

Undersheriff Parham will be sworn into Office on July 13, 2018 at 3 P.M. in the Courtroom of Union County Vicinage Assignment Judge, the Honorable Karen Cassidy.\u00a0 Undersheriff Parham will join current Undersheriffs Amilcar Colon and Dennis Burke as the executive management team for Sheriff Corvelli.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
