Full Notification

It's getting dark earlier and that can provide thieves the cover of darkness they like to operate in.  There has been a rise in residential burglaries in our county during the evening hours.  If you have an alarm system make sure you activate it, even if you're just running out for a few minutes.  Remove your valuables from the master bedroom and it's closet.  If you have a safe make sure it is securely bloted in place. Even large safes have been carried out of homes during burglaries.  Adjust your light timers accordingly to illuminate your residence to help deter an intruder.  Security cameras are a great tool.  Check your system now to make sure its functioning properly before an incident may happen.  

Most crimes are prevented or criminals are caught when the public assists the Police by reporting suspicious persons and activity.  Discuss this with your neighbors, family and friends.  Advise them to secure their homes and to report suspicious activity when it is observed, not the following day.  The eyes and ears of the community are of great assistance in preventing and solving crimes. Any suspicious activity can be reported to the police desk @ 201-327-5300  or by calling 9-1-1    

For additional information or assistance please call Saddle River Police headquarters anytime at 201-327-5300.
