SEE IT- HEAR IT — REPORT IT!
You may have noticed signs throughout Voorhees with this slogan encouraging residents to assist our Police Department in preventing criminal activity.
Crime prevention is the anticipation, recognition and appraisal of a crime risk and taking action to remove or reduce the risk. If you see a crime in progress or suspicious activity, or hear something strange such as a crash, loud bang, or scream, you should immediately contact the Voorhees Township Police Department. Try to provide as much information as possible. In an emergency, dial 911. In a non-emergency, call (856) 428–5400. The Police Department’s Anonymous Crime Tip Line is (856) 627–7174.
Also, since this is a popular time for leaving your house unoccupied to go on vacation, our Police Department is offering a free security survey to all residents and business owners in Voorhees. Sgt. Bill Walsh, a 10-year veteran of the department, will use his crime prevention experience to educate homeowners and business owners of the dangers associated with crime and burglaries. Sgt. Walsh will meet with homeowners and business owners to identify potential security weaknesses. To schedule an appointment for the survey, call the Voorhees Township Police Crime Prevention Office at 856–882–1104.
**The deadline to submit applications for this year’s Voorhees Veterans Wall of Honor is July 31, 2015. Information about the Wall and the application may be found on the homepage of our website at www.voorheesnj.com or obtained in the Municipal Clerk’s Office at Town Hall.
**The next show in our Summer Twilight Series is Friday, Aug. 7, as Voorhees Township welcomes for the first time Good Vibrations: A Celebration of the Beach Boys.
