Today we mourn the loss of one of our best cops and mentors, Police Officer Morton Otundo, who was involved in an off-duty motor vehicle accident early this morning (07/16/2021). Morton joined the Jersey City Police Department in December of 2013 and has played a huge role in how our department functions ever since. He strived to educate and mold younger officers to be great at every turn. Morton was a phenomenal cop who did his job efficiently and always made sure his coworkers were good on the streets regardless of anything else.

Outside of uniform, Morton was an amazing friend, son, brother and above all, a loving father to his young son, Andrew. Morton treated all of us like family and we want to be there as such now, more than ever, for Andrew, who will be left without his father’s infectious smile, deep rumbling wisdom and witty personality for the rest of his life. Morton’s energy was absolutely one of a kind and we will forever miss him. 

All funds raised will be deposited into a trust account to help support Andrew in any future endeavors.
