Last evening, more than seven vehicles were entered in the area of Broadway. Numerous personal items, including purses, wallets, and other valuables, were stolen.

While we are fortunate to live in a safe community, opportunistic criminals do pass through our neighborhoods. Please don’t become a victim of crime.

We urge all residents to lock their vehicle doors and never leave valuables, wallets, purses, fi****ms, or personal information inside unattended vehicles.

A few seconds of prevention can help avoid a costly loss. Please Share…

This National Nurses Week, the Fair Lawn Police Department would like to thank all the amazing nurses out there.

You deal with unimaginable situations, long hours, questionable handwriting, and patients who definitely Googled their symptoms before coming in. Somehow, you still show up every day with compassion and professionalism.

We may handle emergencies, but nurses are the real pros 😉🫶🏽

Thank you for everything you do — and for surviving on large amounts of caffeine, determination, and about 3 hours of sleep. Happy Nurses Week!
