A Message From the Boonton Township Police Department
Boonton Township Police Department Wishes Everyone a Safe and Merry Christmas
Whether you are traveling or staying local, we hope that all of our residents are able to enjoy the holidays safely this year.
As a reminder, the holiday season typically results in an increased volume of traffic on our roadways. For anyone traveling with children, we'd like to take this opportunity to remind you to check your car seats before any holiday travel.
Approximately 73% of car seats are not used or installed correctly, so before you hit the road, please check your car seat. As a reminder, BTPD has specially certified child passenger seat safety technicians available to conduct installations and inspections of all child car seats. To schedule a car seat inspection, please visit http://www.btpolice.org/community-services.html.
We hope everyone has a happy and healthy holiday season, and we look forward to a safe and healthy 2022 in Boonton Township.
