National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is April 30, 2022

The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications. The service is free and anonymous. No questions asked.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health shows year after year that the majority of misused and abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including someone else’s medication being stolen from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.
For more information about the disposal of prescription drugs or about the April 30, 2022 Take Back Day event, go to www.DEATakeBack.com

Bring your pills for disposal to the Eatontown Police Department at 47 Broad Street between 10am and 2pm or to the Eatontown Senior Housing, 55 Wyckoff Road between 10am and 12pm. Please be aware that sites cannot accept liquids, needles or sharps of any kind.

04/04/2022

Traffic Advisory:

Wyckoff Road will be closed tomorrow, April 5, 2022 as well as April 11th and 12th, 2022 between the hours of 9am and 3:30pm.

Heading South on Wyckoff Rd: make a right on to Rt 36, left on Grant Avenue and end detour back at Wyckoff Road.

Heading East on Rt 36: No right onto Wyckoff Rd. Instead make right on Rt 35S, right onto Industrial Way West, right on Hope Rd and end detour back on Wyckoff Rd.

Statewide Distracted Driving
Enforcement and Awareness Campaign
UDrive. UText. UPay.
to be carried out locally from
April 1 – 30, 2022

Borough of Eatontown -- Law enforcement officers from the Eatontown Police Department will be cracking down on distracted drivers during April as part of New Jersey’s UDrive. UText. UPay. enforcement campaign.

Beginning April 1 and running through the end of the month, the high visibility law enforcement initiative will target motorists who engage in dangerous distracted driving behaviors such as talking on hand-held cell phones and sending text messages while driving.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that in 2019 alone, 3,142 people were killed in distracted driving crashes on our nation’s roads and an estimated 400,000 people were injured. Driver inattention has remained the most frequently cited cause of fatal and incapacitating crashes in NJ, over seven times higher than the total crashes cited for unsafe speed over the five-year period 2015-2019. Driver inattention was a contributing circumstance in nearly 49 percent of NJ crashes in 2019.

Distracted driving is any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment or navigation system — anything that takes your attention away from the task of safe driving. Texting is the most alarming distraction. Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for five seconds. At 55 mph, that's like driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed.

New Jersey is one of eight states nationally to receive dedicated federal funds this year to tackle the issue of driver distraction. This federal funding will be used for police overtime enforcement grants at the local level as well as a statewide multimedia public awareness campaign on this important issue.

This crash involved approximately 50 vehicles. Multiple people sustained injuries and were transported to local hospitals for treatment of the injuries.

To our Eatontown parents, families and staff,

The New Jersey Department of Education’s Office of School Preparedness and Emergency Planning recently shared news of a nationwide Tik Tok challenge predicting school violence for tomorrow, December 17, 2021. No specific threat has been made toward any Eatontown School but we are in constant communication with our Superintendent and school district Officals. Tomorrow, however, out of an overabundance of caution, you will notice an increase in police presence near and around all of our schools.

Please know that although this particular social media warning is generic and deemed not credible at this time, we will continue to monitor any and every situation in the interest of our students and staff’s safety and security.
