Glen Rock NJ, on September 25th ,between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.  the Glen Rock Police Department, in conjunction with the NJ State Motor Vehicle Commission, held a vehicle inspection check point along Maple Avenue at Harding Plaza. The operation, which has not been held since 2019 due to COVID-19, is designed to remove dangerous vehicles from the road and promote safe driving practices. The checkpoint also had the added benefit of allowing 55 motorists, whose vehicles were due for inspection, to have their vehicles inspected free of charge with only a short wait. A total of 32 summonses were issued to vehicles found with safety violations. These types of local checkpoints were instituted when the NJ Motor Vehicle commission eliminated the safety testing portion of motor vehicle inspections as a cost savings measure in 2010, now testing only for emissions. Despite this elimination of mechanical inspections, local law enforcement is still responsible to cite motorists for equipment out of compliance or failure to make repairs.

Glen Rock NJ, accroding to the Glen Rock Police Department ,the Glen Rock DPW and Parks Department work hard to provide and maintain our beautiful parks and their facilities, that is why it is so disheartening to see activity like this. The Wilde Park bathrooms were opened by the DPW yesterday morning who found they had been broken into and vandalized over the winter. The bathrooms were cleaned, winterized and locked for the winter prior to the Covid-19 outbreak. The Glen Rock Police Department regularly patrol the parks (you may have seen us driving through) however, the damage was not visible from the exterior.
The damage in these photos may have been done prior to the pandemic, however there has been an increase in property damage recently. Please help us and the DPW keep our town beautiful.
