40:37-156. Park police; removal; trial; proceedings
40:37-156. No member or officer of the police force or police department shall be removed except after trial and conviction by the park commission, or a member or members thereof, of the violation of proper rules and regulations for the appointment, control and management of members of such force or department and for the securing of proper discipline and efficiency among the members thereof.

The park commission, or the member or members thereof before whom such trial is to be had, shall have and are hereby given the power to issue writs of subpoena under the seal of the park commission and signed by the secretary or by one of the members of the park commission, to compel the attendance of witnesses in this State and the production of papers in support of the charges. Upon the request of the person to be tried, like writs of subpoena shall be issued in his behalf. The fees for witnesses for attendance and travel shall be the same as allowed witnesses before the Superior Court.

Every person, who neglects or refuses to obey the command of such writ and who shall have been paid the proper witness fees, shall be liable to a penalty of fifty dollars ($50.00), to be sued for in the name of the park commission in any court of competent jurisdiction and the penalty, when collected, shall be paid into the maintenance fund of the park commission.
