Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Police post Coronavirus Rumor Control:
Myth: There Is A National Lockdown And The Entire Country Will Be Quarantined For Two Weeks.
Fact: There is no national lockdown. As with all information online or shared via social media, it is important to verify the source of the information. You can find the latest information as well as links to additional resources at www.coronavirus.gov.
Myth: FEMA Has Deployed Military Assets
Fact: No, FEMA does not have military assets. Like all emergencies, response is most successful when it is locally executed, state managed and federally supported. Each state’s governor is responsible for response activities in their state, to include establishing curfews, deploying the National Guard if needed and any other restrictions or safety measures they deem necessary for the health and welfare of their citizens.

“What about the old taxi stand on North Broad Street. The village owns that building, and it’s in so much disrepair. It’s actually embarrassing for the Village of Ridgewood to have that eyesore in the CBD. Waking around that building it’s ridiculous but it looks like it’s filthy no one has operated the first floor in probably 30 years. Are used to be Ridgewood taxi downstairs and then they moved upstairs the whole building needs to be got it out and restored the village owns that site. It would be a great site for the Ridgewood Police Department to have a central headquarters in the CBD. I think it would make a Great public relations please/fire/emergency services something like that why not. Yes It’s small inside but I think it will be good for an office.”

Ridgewood Police Department : Will never call and ask for personal information on the phone or ask to for money to satisfy a warrant

Phone Scam Edited 2

staff of of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ , according to the Ridgewood Police Department  , A north Brunswick resident reported they they received a call from what appeared to be the Ridgewood Police Departments phone number. The caller advised them that there was a warrant for their arrest and requested that they provide personal information.

This phone scam spoofs the Ridgewood Police Departments phone number. Spoofing is when a legitimate number appears in the victim’s caller ID, but the originating call is not from who they claim it is from. The Ridgewood Police Department will never call and ask for personal information on the phone or ask to for money to satisfy a warrant. If you receive a similar phone call hang up and call your local police department or contact the Ridgewood Police Department directly at 201-652-3900
