Pitman Police report training, present shared initiatives to schools
Summary
Pitman Police reported recent training (including a Megan's Law case study) and told the council that Deputy Chief Zander and Chief McAteer presented shared initiatives to the Pitman Public School District; Chief McAteer urged residents to report e-bike and scooter safety concerns.
The Pitman Police Department reported training and outreach activities at the July 28 council meeting. Det. Sgt. Barbetta and Investigator Hagan completed Megan's Law case-study training at the Gloucester County Police Academy, and Deputy Chief Zander and Chief McAteer presented two new shared initiatives to the Pitman Public School District on July 23.
During the public portion, Chief McAteer responded to residents' safety concerns about electric bikes and scooters, saying the department "recently underwent training for electric bike and scooter safety" and that officers would like to educate parents and youths on safety and registration requirements. Chief McAteer encouraged residents to report concerns so they can be documented for follow-up.
The minutes indicate the police and school district are exploring joint opportunities; the council asked for further details to be supplied in coming months.
