Are we owed an explanation in the police blotter? They report on shoplifting and underage drinking. At times they add the name of local residents for the enjoyment of the neighbors.

They should tell us what happened. Were the neighbors ever in danger? Are individuals in custody or are they still living in the house?

Ridgewood PD should provide adequate info, not all the gory details, but enough for us to know if we are safe.
