Police Department

Special Projects

The Red Bank Police Department has been involved with the local schools by having an officer teach the Drug and Alcohol Resistance Education (DARE) to the fifth graders and the Gang Resistance Education and Training to six graders.  We also stop into each of the schools in the Borough several times a week to meet and see the students and faculty.

 

The Police Department follows many of the proponents of community policing while still maintaining incident based patrolling.  An officer from the Police Department is part of the following meetings most of them on a monthly basis:

 

Neighborhood Watch
Riverview Medical Center
School Officials
Special Events
Homeland Security
Juvenile Conference Committee
Human Relations Commission
Housing Authority
Stationhouse Adjustment
Prosecutor’s Office for Community Justice

 

Other community policing ideas we have adopted include:

 

Six to seven months of bicycle patrol
Special officers on foot patrol
Park and Walk part of the regular patrol
Coordinating efforts with other departments such as fire, code enforcement and building departments
Enforcing radar on local roads on a rotating basis
Working with the schools on security issues
Beginning stages of a Police Explorer Post with Fair Haven Police Department     
Reserved spots at the County Police Academy for Youth Police Week in July
Participate in the “We Have A Little Emergency” (WHALE) program which is the installing of children’s safety seats in vehicles
Reporting street light outages
