Bergen County Towns Embrace the 9pm Routine

51446496 2168111583277417 5479879344820060160 n1

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Allendale NJ, Allendale and many Bergen County Police Departments adapting the 9pm routine rule.

We are excited to join other agencies that have adopted #9pmroutine. The following items might seem simple, or even “routine” to some, but if that was the case the majority of towns in New Jersey and nationwide would not be having vehicles burglarized or even stolen, or houses entered, etc.

Set an alarm on your phone to go off daily at 9 PM and take a quick moment to make sure your key fob is not in your car, use that same fob to make sure your vehicle is locked and continue down the list.

We all lead busy lives, but if you have this alarm to remind you to do all these things, you are saving yourself from the potential to have criminal activity happen to you.

If you have any questions, you can call police headquarters at 201-825-1900 for further information or suggestions.
