Auxiliary officers needed
LYNDHURST – The Lyndhurst Police Department is accepting applications for volunteer auxiliary police officers. Members of the Police Auxiliary help improve the level of safety and security in the Lyndhurst community by assisting regular officers with activities like crowd and traffic control. Auxiliaries also provide protection for local schools, parks, recreation fields and other designated areas. Its members may also be asked to respond to calls for police services, directed by proper police authority. Their presence, in uniform or on patrol in marked police units, has been proven to be a deterrence to vandalism and other crimes in the community. All Lyndhurst police auxiliaries are required to attend and successfully complete a 52hour Auxiliary Police training program at the Bergen County Law and Public Safety Institute in Mahwah. Candidates receive training in such areas as first aid, traffic control and patrol functions. Upon completion of the course and appointment to the auxiliary force, members are outfitted with a patrol uniform and will be assigned to a regular patrol schedule. Serving as a police auxiliary is recommended not only as see AUXILIARY page

Happy Holidays!
Keeping Kearny shoppers safe By Karen Zautyk Observer Correspondent
KEARNY – If you’ve noticed an increased police presence in Kearny’s shopping areas these days, you shouldn’t be concerned. It’s not in response to some sort of crime wave. It’s
designed to deter crime -- and to make harried holiday shoppers feel secure. As KPD Chief John Dowie explained, the “holiday detail” is a yearly initiative “just to make the holidays safer for everyone.” From Black Friday through the first of the year, uniformed
officers are assigned to patrol “every shopping area in town” -- including the Passaic Ave. malls, Walmart and Kearny Ave. -- seven days a week, from mid-morning until closing time. Non-uniformed officers are around, too, but the emphasis is on the high-visibility law
