 Jack
Trombetta dissected details of murder for a quarter-century as a
detective. In that time, he helped unravel more than 30
homicides, guided by an instinct to piece together the minutiae of
forced death.
In 1997, Jack retired from the force, trading his police cruiser
for a classroom. While he studied to become a teacher, one
subject in particular sparked again what he says is his "innate
compulsion" to solve crimes: the Holocaust. "It was the ultimate
crimes." "It is the study of mass murder. I still have the
police instinct. I want to know as much as I can....so I can
teach my students that hating a people can lead to extermination of a
people."
His interest led him to become one of 40 people to enroll in the
inaugural class of a graduate degree program in Holocaust and genocide
studies at Richard Stockton College in Pomona. |

In
1984, a group of Cape May County peace officers, most of them
policemen, had started a new organization dedicated to promoting
Jesus Christ to other police officers and to addressing social issues
in general.
President of the Cape May chapter is
Lower Township Det. Jack Trombetta who believes a scriptural
influence can help a policeman in handling the everyday stress of the
job. "The object of the organization is to bring others to a saving
knowledge of Jesus Christ." said Trombetta who belongs to Covenant
Bible Church in Lower Township.
