Hackensack NJ, The Passaic County Sheriff’s Labor Assistance Program, or SLAP, is back after more than a year’s hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The SLAP program works with counties to allow non-violent offenders to fulfill their sentences without incarceration through labor to many municipalities and organizations. SLAP crews perform jobs like the removal of trash along the roadways, highways and off-ramps.
Bergen county has a similar program ,the Bergen County Work Release Administrator is responsible for the management, coordination, and supervision of the Sheriff’s Work Release Program, Home Custody Program, Family Care Release Program, Vocational Training Program, State Work Release Program, Sheriff’s Labor Assistance Program [SLAP], Out-Side Inmate Labor Program, Juvenile Electronic Monitoring [BEM], and the Bail Enhancement Program. The County Work Release Administrator is also responsible for the facility management and supervision of the Community Release Center (CRC), a 65-bed male housing unit.
They all should be on, let them be out and pick up litter, because the sides of these roads are disgusting.
I just like to say that it’s so embarrassing that our highways throughout Bergen county are filthy, it’s so embarrassing. People traveling from another state coming to retro New Jersey say what the hell is going on this is one of the richest areas and it looks like this. Something is very Wrong. I think people need to start making some calls to the state talking to the governor. Everybody calls him about opening the schools how about cleaning up the roads.
