The Burlington County Commissioners and Burlington County Sheriff Anthony Basantis and Undersheriff Jim Kostoplis released the following statement on the passing of retired Burlington County Sheriff Gary L. Daniels:
“We were saddened to learn about the passing of Gary Daniels, who served Burlington County as a member of law enforcement, as an elected leader and as a local attorney. As one of New Jersey’s first Black Sheriffs, he helped break barriers for other minorities and forge stronger connections between law enforcement and our communities. We are grateful for his service and our thoughts are with his family, colleagues and loved ones.”
