Nutley Police Undertake Holiday Patrol Initiative
Police will be cracking down on drunk driving and increase patrols in business district for the holiday season.
The following comes courtesy Nutley Chief of Police Thomas Strumolo.
In an effort to deter crime throughout the holiday season I’m implementing a Holiday Patrol Initiative that will include a high visibility police presence throughout the township including the business district to inhibit and discourage crime during the holiday season. The addition of patrols will begin on Wednesday, Nov. 27 and run through the end of the year.
Also the Nutley police department will be instituting drunk driving patrols during the Thanksgiving holiday to ensure the safety of the motoring public.I ask that everyone drive responsible and if drinking please use a designated driver.

I would also like to remind residents to keep their cars locked at all times and to make sure all valuable items are hidden from view particularly in the trunk if possible.
Mayor Alphonse Petracco supports the extra patrols and reminds everyone to drive safely during the holiday season.
