FORKED RIVER – Dasti & Staiger is honored to sponsor the Lacey Township Police Department’s (LTPD) annual “Cop Card” program, which officially kicked off on February 8. Community members are encouraged to stop by Dasti & Staiger’s office to pick up a Cop Card as part of the collection process, further engaging with this long-standing local tradition.
This year’s program holds special significance as it pays tribute to the late Nick Juliano, former Lacey Township Mayor and a longtime advocate for the police department. As a close friend of the firm, Juliano’s legacy is celebrated with a special edition Cop Card in his honor, recognizing his dedication to both the LTPD and the community.
The “Cop Card” program is a cherished tradition that encourages local children to collect trading cards featuring LTPD officers. Participants who collect all the cards have the chance to win prizes and attend the highly anticipated “Meet the Officer Day” on March 22, 2025, at Lacey Township Middle School. Through this initiative, children build positive relationships with law enforcement in a fun and engaging way.
“We are proud to support the Cop Card program, especially in honor of our dear friend, Nick Juliano,” said Christopher Dasti, Managing Partner of Dasti & Staiger. “Nick was a true champion of the Lacey Township Police Department, and this program is a meaningful way to carry on his legacy while fostering strong community connections.”
Launched in 2000, the Cop Card program was created to strengthen trust and transparency between law enforcement and residents, particularly children. Over the years, it has served as a bridge between officers and the community, helping young people view law enforcement as approachable and integral members of the town. The program has even inspired some participants to pursue careers in law enforcement.
As the initiative celebrates its 25th anniversary, it continues to introduce new officers to the community while honoring those who have dedicated decades of service.
“We’re grateful to be part of such a meaningful tradition,” added Dasti. “Supporting this program not only pays tribute to Nick but also reinforces the importance of positive police-community relationships.”
