Fanwood’s police department logged 1,230 calls for service in November, Police Commissioner Aaron reported at the Dec. 15 borough council meeting, a level the presenter described as notable for a small department.
The November activity included 131 traffic enforcement details, 468 building security checks, 77 park-and-walk details, 49 medical calls and 181 vehicle stops that produced 218 summonses (190 for moving violations and 28 for parking violations). Officers attended six training classes during the month, and the department made two adult arrests. Commissioner Aaron also reminded residents that a new municipal parking ordinance for the lot behind downtown businesses takes effect in January and urged motorists to observe posted signage.
Council members thanked officers for community engagement, noting department participation in Veterans Day and seasonal events such as the Santa parade. The council did not propose operational changes during the public meeting; staff will continue to provide monthly statistics and follow up on parking signage questions raised later in public comment.
No specific budgetary figures or staffing changes were provided during the presentation.
