Public Safety Director: FTPD Won’t Be Harsh On Officers Toking Legal Weed On Their Own Time

Franklin Township Public Safety Director Quovella Maeweather, seen here at the April 14 Township Council meeting, said the FTPD will not punish officers who use legal marijuana during off-duty hours.

Franklin Township will apparently not follow the lead of at least one other New Jersey town when it comes to police officers partaking of legal marijuana during their off-duty hours.

While she didn’t come right out and say it, Public Safety Director Quovella Maeweather strongly hinted in an emailed statement on April 20 that FTPD officers using legal weed on their own time would not face any disciplinary issues, a position in line with guidance from the state’s Acting Attorney General.
