From the Pen of our Police Chief

From July 9,2005 until September 16,2005, I attended specialty training classes at the FBI Academy, located at the Marine Corp Officer Training Base, in Quantico, Virginia.

I felt it necessary to obtain further law enforcement education, through the FBI Academy, to enhance my professional skills as Chief of our township's police force and then to share these newly acquired skills with the police staff, upon my return.

Now that I have completed the FBI Academy's training, a variety of other programs, through the National Academy Organization, will be made available to me

and our police force, that include additional instruction in the areas of hostage negotiations, weapons of mass destruction, and sniper training.

The FBI academy holds an impeccable reputation for its intensive training and offers to those who participate, room and board along with all educational training, at no charge. ,

Within the very near future, I will be sending members of our police staff to the FBI Academy and other teaching facilities so that they, too, receive specialty training in these areas of law enforcement.

It's always good to come home. I appreciate the support I was given in my absence and for the continued, hardworking police officers that support this township, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Great job! 

Thank you.
-Chief Al Fasano

Leaf collection begins on Monday, October 17 and runs through

Tuesday, December 13, 2005. Place leaves (no rocks or sticks, please) between the curb I and sidewalk and not in the street, the night before your scheduled day. Once the public works crew completes leaf pickup on your street they will not be back again until the next appointed time. As an alternative, you may bag your leaves and put them out for trash.

The summer schedule for trash removal includes pick- up twice a week, which comes to a close on Friday, September 30. We will return to the once-a-week trash collection schedule beginning Monday, October 3, 2005. Township offices, including the public works department, will be closed on Monday, October 10, in honor of Columbus Day. Since trash will not be collected on this day, it has been rescheduled for pickup on Tuesday, October 11 with Tuesday's regular trash schedule. Reminder...this is not a recycling week. Thank you!

A Message from Code Enforcement Office

Since heating costs are on the rise, a cause for concern is the use of supplementary heating sources, such as electric space and kerosene heaters, if not used properly. Electric space heaters should be placed with proper clearances, with NO extension cords. Kerosene space heaters should also be placed with proper clearances and MUST be used in conjunction with a carbon monoxide (CO) detector. Additional care is also required when filling and storing kerosene.
