One encounter with this Police Department and it was awful. Officer N. was the most despondent…read morepublic servant I have ever met. My husband and I got a flat tire on the Garden State Pkwy, and while my husband ran into the local Walmart to ask for directions to the tire center, the officer proceeded to give me a parking ticket for being in a handicap spot. I was in the car, I told him we had a flat and needed assistance, he could have asked me to pull one spot over. No he walked around the care and said the flat didn't look that "bad", he didn't even inspect the tire, nor did he ask how far we needed to go. Additionally, we honestly had no idea it was a handicap spot, it was not clearly marked, I though it was a off loading spot, there was no sign ahead of me. So while the officer wrote his ticket, time passed from 6:45 to 7p and the tire center closed. We asked if he had any recommendations of where to go, no recommendation, nothing, "everything is closed". So with that helpful response he pulled away in his SUV, never to be seen again in the parking lot, we would know, we were there an hour more changing our tire in the parking lot in the rain. Unlike officer N, many local civilians offered to give us a hand, and directed us to other possible repair shops. Finally, we were on our way, however we couldn't go far on our donut tire, so we had to find a place to stay over night until we got a new tire in the morning, only $200 bucks more. So due to the complete lack of integrity and common courtesy of this officer, a day where we planned to save money by going to a family party in south jersey, turned into a $400 ordeal. Which I'm sure is not a big deal for the officers of Old Bridge who earn approx. $130,000, but for us it is a huge strain on our bank accounts. My father just retired from the NYPD after 30 years of service, he was one the the guys you fought for when main stream media threw out outlandish misrepresentations of Police officers who were out there serving and protecting their communities. With my father's work ethic in mind, I was left with such a bad feeling after interacting with officer N. I felt that we were dealing with a person who was only there to do the job, no inter-personal skills, never to go above and beyond, he was just there because he needed to be and because a ticket needed to be written. Do not misunderstand, we will pay the ticket. We do not live close by, nor can we take off work to plea Not Guilty. But, I think it needs to be known, I hope this officer's attitudes are not those of your entire department. If this is the experience I had, I can only imagine the negative experiences and negative impressions left on other civilians who do not hold police officers in a high regard, nor know police officers personally. These sentiments will erode a community's trust and confidence in a department. I will note when I called to speak about this officer's lack of concern for passengers of a disabled vehicle the sergeant on duty was very polite and said he would speak with the officer. Not knowing if the Sgt. will actually say anything to the officer, at least the Sgt knew had to interact professionally and speak to a concerned civilian.

The town seems to be run pretty well and the town services all seem to be functioning. My only gripe is the police department has literally nothing to do. Crime really isn't all that high in Highland Park and the police dept seems to be very well funded. They set up a traffic check point for insurance card checks at least once a month Tuesday morning on River road. It jams traffic up and it really annoying. Just a heads up.

There was a time when they would hassle me just because they wanted. I frequently stop to talk and let the police officers know I appreciate them. They put their life on the line daily.

He's not Four legged but he's still cute! Easy Five Stars!

Community Affairs department might as well not exist - they don't do anything. Why is this being funded if they don't do anything for their community? This department exists to build trust and solve neighborhood problems, but they literally don't do anything (as you can see from the frustrated community themselves leaving reviews below). I'm actually stunned to have caught them in multiple lies stating they "came to check out" a problem that the community has been complaining about over and over - but they blatantly lied and never did and continue to ignore it, despite there being a very serious and obviously illegal problem going on. They'll even ignore you no matter how many times you follow up. This is how bad things happen - through careless actions of NYPD officers such as the ones at this precinct. It's really sad that this is what we're supporting, when they can't even support or help their own community that they're employed to do, when they're in need. I really wish there were actually officers at this precinct that took pride in their jobs, and put effort into making the areas they cover a better place.
