A Pennsauken resident told the Township Committee on Dec. 5 that she has been the target of repeated late‑night harassment for months and that local courts found no probable cause after she filed a complaint. "I matter, and my safety matters," Priscilla Pilong said as she described a pattern of an identifiable vehicle circling her block with music blasting and occupants taunting her.

Pilong, who said she lives at 1924 Springfield Avenue, told the committee the incidents began in April 2024 and that her calls to police began on Sept. 5. She said she filed an official harassment and noise complaint on Nov. 4, 2024, and later learned from the district court administrator that a judge had reviewed multiple cases and ruled her case "no probable cause." Pilong said the outcome left her feeling unprotected and emotionally distressed: "Sometimes I don't even wanna be in my own house... I'm so overwhelmed."

Mayor (name not specified) and committee members thanked Pilong for coming forward, acknowledged the limits of enforcement when officers cannot verify conduct in real time, and offered to meet with her and police leadership after the meeting. "Let's get a full understanding," the mayor said, inviting Pilong and public‑safety staff to a follow‑up session to review documented calls, photos and case numbers and to discuss next steps.

Vince Martinez, Director of Public Safety, and other staff were present and the committee said staff would coordinate to review Pilong's documentation and contact her to schedule a meeting. The committee emphasized they would not rely on the public meeting as the only channel for help and encouraged residents to call the municipal building or the public-safety office if they are experiencing ongoing problems.

The committee did not take a formal vote on new policy at the meeting; members described the next step as an administrative follow-up and case review with the resident and public‑safety staff.
