Fred H. Madden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fred H. Madden, Jr. (born March 30, 1954) is an American Democratic Party politician, who has served in the New Jersey State Senate since 2004, where he represents the 4th Legislative District.

Madden served as Acting Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police in 2002, after rising through the ranks from Trooper to Lieutenant Colonel. After he retired from the State Police force in 2002, he worked as the Chief of Investigations in the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office.

Sen. Madden received training at the FBI Academy and the United States Secret Service Dignitary Protection School. Under Madden's command, the New Jersey State Police established its Internet sex offender registry, a computer crimes initiative to combat identity theft and Internet crimes against children, and he served as a member of New Jersey's State Domestic Preparedness Task Force to address issues of homeland security and counter-terrorism.

The Washington Township (Gloucester County) native was recruited to run for the Senate in the high profile 4th Legislative District against incumbent Republican Senator George Geist in 2004. At the time, the campaign between Madden and Geist was the most expensive in New Jersey State Senate history reaching over $4,000,000 (USD); Madden prevailed.

Senator Madden is the Vice Chairman of the Transportation Committee, and is also a member of the Community & Urban Affairs Committee and the Health, Human Services, and Seniors Committee.

Madden earned a degree in law enforcement from Camden County College, graduated with a B.A. from Glassboro State College (now Rowan University) in Law / Justice and was awarded an M.S. from Saint Joseph's University in Criminal Justice. Madden has taught as an adjunct professor at Seton Hall University, Rutgers University and Gloucester County College.
