If you see something suspicious… call. It may seem overly simplistic but it is really that easy.  If you see suspicious activity, a suspicious car, a suspicious person or persons, call the police non-emergency line at (609) 267-8300 when you see the activity.  We can’t tell you how many people will stop in or call hours or sometimes days after suspicious activity and expect us to do something.  Our best chance at stopping crime in its tracks is to receive the call when the activity is occurring.
