Weekend Update
Dear Resident,
I want to thank our residents who have heeded our call to lock your vehicles, keep valuables out of sight, and remove the key fobs. As a part of our safety campaign, reminders are being sent via text using our Police SWIFT 911 portal. Please visit https://marlboro-nj.gov/swift911 register your cell and opt-in for texts to receive these and other important safety messages.
Chief Pezzullo and I remind residents to that if you ‘See Something. Say Something. We will Do Something.’ Please review the “Keeping Marlboro Safe” letter (linked HERE) and share this message with your neighbors. Together as a community we can help fight crime.
