Englewood NJ, Englewood celebrated the 2022 National Night out Tuesday, August 2, 2022 celebrated nationally as America’s night out against crime. Meanwhile the Bergen County city is installing surveillance cameras in various spots throughout the city to monitor streets handpicked by the Police Department in an effort that officials say will help fight crime and put residents at “greater ease.”

Police Chief Thomas Greeley told NorthJersey.com, “It’s really going to allow us to follow up on criminal activity, but since we’re monitoring major intersections, we can also see major crashes and we’ll be able to see what’s going on faster and respond.”

Key traffic intersections were picked after a lot of thought, with attention focused on streets that act as entrance and exit points to the city. The Englewood City Council approved the purchase through a Bergen County co-op with $359,730 of forfeiture funds, or money seized by police during criminal activity.
