James Plousis has been involved in law enforcement in New Jersey for more than 40 years, from a patrolman to a U.S. marshal to head of the state’s parole board. His recent appointment as chairman of the Casino Control Commission is a natural progression, he believes. As one of the cleanest industries in the state because of the diligence of the state’s regulatory authorities, Plousis believes that integrity is of the utmost importance. He explains his priorities during his term and about his relationship with the Division of Gaming Enforcement that does most of the heavy lifting in New Jersey’s regulatory space. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at his offices on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City in July.
