Advisory
Bordentown Township & City PD's partner to promote bike helmet safety.
In New Jersey, anyone under the age of 17 is required to wear an approved helmet when cycling, roller-skating or skateboarding. Injuries can happen anywhere, including parks, bike paths and driveways so anyone and everyone riding a bicycle should wear a helmet.
In order to promote safe riding, both the Bordentown Township and Bordentown City Police Departments have partnered with local ice cream shops and officers will issue “tickets” for a free ice cream treat to children observed wearing their helmets while riding bicycles, scooters, skateboards, etc... Township Officers will be handing out tickets that can be redeemed at the Bordentown Creamery and City officers will be issuing tickets which can be turned in to Smilie’s Sweet Spot.
This program will kick off on July 1st and run until the end of the summer season.
Bordentown City Chief Miller and Bordentown Township Chief Pesce hope this program will encourage kids to wear helmets in order to prevent traumatic brain injuries and also believe that this is a great way for local youth to interact with our officers in a positive way.
