The Glen Ridge Police Department is pleased to announce its participation in New Jersey’s Alternative Responses to Reduce Instances of Violence and Escalation (ARRIVE) Together Program, which officially launched in Glen Ridge on August 17, 2026.

ARRIVE Together is a statewide initiative developed through the NJ Office of the Attorney General to improve responses to individuals experiencing mental health crises by bringing together law enforcement officers and behavioral health professionals. Since its implementation, the program has expanded to all 21 counties and has resulted in more than 20,687 ARRIVE interactions statewide.

The program is designed to provide appropriate care and resources to individuals in crisis, reduce the potential for escalation, and improve outcomes for both community members and responding officers.

Through a partnership with the Montclair Police Department, Glen Ridge will share access to a trained mental health professional from RWJBarnabas Health. The screener works alongside law enforcement officers when responding to appropriate adult mental health-related calls, providing an additional behavioral health resource during situations where specialized assistance may be beneficial.

The Glen Ridge Police Department is proud to participate in this important statewide initiative and looks forward to working with the Montclair Police Department, RWJBarnabas Health, and the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General to enhance the services and resources available to members of our community.
