POWER OUTAGES

The police communications desk receives numerous calls from residents about power loss. The police department is not always aware of the cause or how long until it will be restored.  Calling police headquarters to ask about the power loss may cause unnecessary delay for dispatchers to handle urgent matters. If you lose power you are urged to call 1-800-544-4877 (1-800-LIGHTSS) and report the outage to JCP&L.  We  also recommend you select the option to be notified via telephone callback when your power is restored.  Reporting your power outage to JCP&L is the fastest way to document your outage.  JCP&L states that when homeowners report their outages directly to them it allows them to pinpoint the problem in a more expeditious manner.

If you see wires down, or other hazards please call 9-1-1.

IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE WITH POWER FOR MEDICAL EQUIPMENT DURING AN OUTAGE, PLEASE CALL 973-377-0100.

Grandma Scam

We have had reports of the "Grandma Scam" recently in town. The suspect will call the victim, usually a widowed or single senior citizen, and pretend to be their grandson or daughter. They will tell the victim they have been arrested and need money for bail. They also indicate they are in California or a western U.S. state. Usually the suspect will tell the victim that they do not want their parents to know and to send the money via Western Union. Once they receive the money they will sometimes try to scam the victim again saying the bail was raised. Many times the victim is out thousands of dollars.
