Today, we are excited to introduce a new way for Metuchen residents to stay connected with everything going on around the Borough.

We have partnered with @SimplicityApp_ , an innovative mobile application that will enhance the way residents engage with Borough services by providing a centralized platform for accessing important information. Residents who use Simplicity will have seamless access to vital Borough updates, municipal services, emergency alerts, and more, all conveniently delivered to their smartphones.

Incident today at Edgar Middle School where the PD was advised of an individual walking in the wooded area by the school wearing camouflage. The EMS was subsequently put into lockdown and the PD made contact with the individual. It was determined that there was no threat.

When you’re behind the wheel, don’t lose sight of what it feels like to be a pedestrian. Remember that we're all pedestrians, and crossing can be intimidating. #PedestrianSafety

Halloween’s almost here! There will be little ones walking on sidewalks and streets. Excited children can move in unexpected ways, so drive slowly and be extra careful in residential areas. #HalloweenSafety

Teen drivers aged 16 through 19 are almost 3 times as likely to be in a fatal car crash as drivers 20 or older. Parental involvement in a teen's driving habits can reduce this risk. More tips for teens at https://t.co/1hL0LfMXsO.

Trains weigh thousands of tons and can’t stop as easily as a car or a truck. Keep yourself and others safe by respecting railway crossings and obeying safety signals. Always yield to a train. That train can’t yield to you. #StopTrainsCant #railsafety #trainsafety

Kids are 70 times more likely to get to school safely on the bus (NHTSA). School buses are designed for safety and visibility—if your school district offers a bus service, consider that instead of driving your child. #PedestrianSafetyMonth
