Chief Leusner has been a key member of the Alliance since its inception in 2016, representing the law enforcement sector of Cape May County. Chief Leusner has played a key role in the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) project and has been instrumental in establishing Law Enforcement Summer Youth Camps in the four identified areas of Cape May County with the highest rates of ACES: Lower Township, Middle Township, Wildwood and Woodbine. Chief Leusner has also been instrumental in establishing the “Handle With Care” program in Cape May County and sharing the program in the surrounding counties as well.
