Chief Raymond Hayducka announced that once again the department would launch it’s highly successful Operation Safe Schools program next week. The program is designed to increase police presence at all schools in the Township during the opening days. The plan will place officers at every school in the district at the start and end of the school day. In addition enhanced traffic enforcement zones will be established around the schools for traffic enforcement. At any one time more the a dozen officers will be dedicated to the operation. Private schools in the Township start back next Wednesday September 5th, all schools get into full swing next Thursday morning September 6th.
On September 3rd the South Brunswick Police Department, in collaboration with the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety and the Middlesex County Comprehensive Traffic Safety Program will also begin the “Slow Down in Our Town” initiative. This traffic safety campaign will be implemented in conjunction with the Police Department “Safe Schools” initiative during the first week of school. The programs include a saturation of school and residential areas with promotional signs, education, and enforcement encouraging motorists to obey traffic laws including speeding, passing stopped school buses and yielding to pedestrians. These initiatives, combined with ongoing traffic enforcement details, are focused on the enhanced safety of our students, pedestrians and motorists. Please use extra care during the first week of school, and as always- BE SAFE!
