Mayor's Column
Mayor Michael R. Mignogna
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. Brian
Randazzo, a 24-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. Randazzo 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 next show in the Voorhees Summer Twilight Series will be on
Thursday, July 29, at 7:30 p.m. at Connolly Park (rain date July 30)
and will feature Strawberry Fields. This group, billed as "The
Planet's Best Beatles Music Experience," was the only band
chosen to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the historic 1965 Beatles
concert live at Shea Stadium.
