Police report: December incidents noted; board authorizes background checks for potential hire
Summary
The township recorded 178 incident reports for December 2025, including a single‑vehicle fatal crash and an alleged $30,000 fraud; the board authorized comprehensive background checks for a prospective full‑time police officer.
During the Jan. 5 meeting staff read the police chief’s report noting 178 incident reports in December 2025 and several ongoing investigations, including a single‑vehicle fatal crash and a reported $30,000 fraud loss. The recitation included enforcement details such as truck enforcement on River Road and pending charges in a case involving a disabled vehicle that turned into a drug investigation.
After the report, the board approved a motion authorizing Chief Nicole Madden to proceed with comprehensive background investigations for a candidate for a full‑time police officer position. "There were a 178 incident reports in December 2025 as of '12/30/25," the report said; the record also notes that interviews were held in December and that one candidate was being advanced for background checks.
Why it matters: the hiring authorization clears the candidate to move forward in the personnel process; the incident tally and active investigations are material to residents tracking public‑safety trends and staffing levels within the township police department.
