Sullivan, J.
This is a companion case to Jansco v. Waldron, 70 N. J. 320 (1976), also decided this day, and involves the same basic question decided therein, whether the governing body of a municipality, in creating and establishing a police department and force under the authority of N. J. S. A. 40:47-1, now 40A:14-118, must itself and by ordinance, adopt rules and regulations for the government of the department and force and for the discipline of its members, or whether this statutory power may be sub-delegated to a subordinate body or official.
