General Information
The following are some tips and procedures that the Police Department would like our residents to be aware of.
1. 9-1-1 Calls:
9-1-1 is for EMERGENCY USE ONLY!! Please use discretion when using 9-1-1 if it is not an emergency please use 768-2100. If you should dial 9-1-1 in error please stay on the line until the dispatcher answers the call. This saves us the trip to your home to confirm that everything is in order.
2. Overnight Parking:
Overnight parking is permitted in the borough if the homeowner calls the Police Department and receives permission. Please note that overnight parking is not permitted under any circumstances if snow is predicted. This is to ensure that our D.P.W. has access to all road surfaces should snow removal become necessary. Vehicles that are parked on the roadway overnight when snow removal is taking place will be removed!!
3. Public School Closings:
Please DO NOT call the Police Department to inquire whether the public school is closed. Please utilize the sources provided by the Harrington Park School to determine weather related closings.
4. Phone Solicitation:
It has been brought to our attention that many of our residents are receiving phone solicitations by an organization purporting to be the N.J. State P.B.A. Please note that any donations made to this organization are not channeled to the local P.B.A.s. Rather a large percentage of collected monies go to the telemarketer with the remainder being distributed to the N.J. State P.B.A. 5 . Door to Door Solicitation: Please be advised that anyone soliciting door to door within the limits of the borough must have a solicitors permit issued by this authority. The only exceptions to this are for non profit organizations and religious organizations. Please advise the Harrington Park Police Department of any solicitiors who do not have the proper permit displayed. 6. The Harrington Park Police Department is currently collecting unwanted cell phones. Cell phones with chargers can be dropped off at our Headquarters at anytime.
