BERGENFIELD -- Cathy Madalone became the first female municipal police chief in Bergen County Tuesday night at a swearing-in ceremony, the Record reported.
Carmen Martino became the county's first female chief of any kind last year when she was named chief of detectives for the Prosecutor's Office.
Madalone was the first woman to join the Bergenfield Police Department in 1994. The department had to convert a restroom for her to use as a locker room, she said to PIX11.
