The Bayonne Police Department is mourning the loss of one of their own.

Police say 37-year veteran Capt. Paul Jamola-Wicz died on duty Friday night.

The department wrote on its Facebook page, “Chief Geisler states:  ‘It is with a heavy heart that I must announce the death of Bayonne Police Department Captain Paul Jamolawicz. Captain Jamolawicz died unexpectedly tonight while on-duty serving our community. On behalf of the City of Bayonne and the Bayonne Police Department, I would like to express our condolences to the Jamolawicz Family.’”

There is no word yet on the cause of his death. 

The captain leaves behind a wife, daughter and son.

Loved ones will pay respects this week ahead of a funeral Mass on Thursday at St. Vincent’s Church.
