The Teaneck Police Department is aware of the recent surge in sightings of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), commonly known as drones, in our area and across the state. Drones have become increasingly popular and accessible due to their ease of use and affordability. While these devices have many beneficial applications—such as in delivery services, search and rescue operations, security, and infrastructure assessments—UAS can also be used for illegal or malicious activities, including potential acts of terrorism.
While there is currently no known threat to public safety, the FBI, New Jersey State Police, and the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness are urging the public to remain vigilant. If you spot a drone or any related suspicious activity in your neighborhood, please report it immediately.
To report suspicious drone activity:
- Call the FBI at 1-800-225-5324.
- Submit tips and video footage online at https://tips.fbi.gov/home.
- Report directly to the Teaneck Police Department at (201) 837-2600.
The Teaneck Police Department and I thank you for your attention and cooperation in this matter.
