Residents praise Glassboro police programs and thank staff for community events during public comment
Summary
Speakers during public comment praised the junior police academy and community events, requested a table at the borough car show, and thanked staff for event support and prompt action on safety issues.
Several residents used the public comment period to thank borough staff and the police department for community programs and events.
Richard Kretschmer, a Toastmasters club member, asked for a table at the upcoming car show: "I would like to know if we could have a table for that car show, if that's if this is the right place to ask for that," and the clerk said staff would connect him with the appropriate contact after the meeting. Alicia Moore praised the junior police academy and said her son "had a phenomenal job a phenomenal time," and offered that her foundation — I Am Chosen — would host a cadet lunch next year. Milton Moore also praised the Glassboro program and welcomed the installed four‑way stop at Academy and Grove, saying, "I'm so glad that it wasn't a traffic light, that it is a 4 way stop ... it's gonna be less accidents."
Other residents thanked borough staff for the 10th annual 'I Love My Neighborhood' cookout and explained that a missed cleanup was caused by a volunteer's medical emergency; council and staff acknowledged the thanks and said they would follow up with event organizers as needed.
