Ridgewood NJ, The owner of a store front business establishment on East Ridgewood Avenue in Ridgewood inadvertently tripped his hold-up/panic alarm, and then failed to provide the correct “all clear” password to his central station alarm provider early Thursday afternoon, 09/17.
The first uniformed Ridgewood PD officer dispatched to the incident encountered a locked front door and observed the owner inside with two (2) adult males. Based on the circumstances at hand, numerous backup units were summoned to the scene. As the unknown males exited the premises, they were surrounded and detained until it was determined that they were contractors working for the owner, who had erroneously provided an incorrect “all clear” password to his central station alarm provider. No shots fired, no body slams by RPD – true professionals.
Fine the idiot
Lets bring in those Paterson,Hoboken or Newark cop. Let see if would have had the same outcome.
Fine the idiot? I wonder sometimes who actually posts this stuff. #Loser. The store owner made a mistake, and the RPD seems to have done a great job in handling the situation. I am sure all involved were relieved. Lot of things wrong in this town. Try passing a complement when something actually works around here. You’ll feel better.
Yes you are right 6:49 the men and women of the Ridgewood Police Dept are professionals, let add so and the Firemen and the Worker Bees in the other Depts.
Posting these stories helps us to know what a great job our police and fire departments are doing at all times. It is great to see a success story like this one, which could have been a mess but our cops handled it beautifully. What is with you 6:49? Don’t you like to see good stories about our men and women in uniform helping us out? You need to take a valium.
The idiot should have known the code. That was a serious mistake.
In some towns homeowners get fined for false alarms. Why not a business person?
Fine the idiot
Are hashtags being merged into blog posts? How exactly does that work?
Some towns post daily activity logs of their local police.
It’s a good way for the citizens to know what’s going on.
In Paterson, Hoboken, Jersey City and Newark if you push the hold up/panic button the police call the location a half hour later and ask “is everything ok there?”
