“I believe the last time a group even attempted a Guinness Record in Bergen County was over 15 years ago,” Mahwah Police Chief James Batelli said.
“We have scheduled a Black Hawk helicopter to fly over and take aerial photographs and also have several former New York Giants players who will be attending to sign autographs.”
The fifth annual Leadership Academy (not to be confused with the Junior Police Academy, which is a sponsor) began yesterday and runs through Friday.
It’s the only one of its kind, Batelli said, and this year includes 165 students.
The chief said the group is hoping for AT LEAST 2,000 participants who can be part of history.
