It is with profound sadness that the Little Falls Police Department announces the passing of Retired Detective Captain Robert “Bob” Riker on June 12, 2026, at the age of 78.

Captain Riker joined the Little Falls Police Department in 1969 and faithfully served our community for 30 years before retiring in 1999 as Detective Captain. Between the years of 1987 and 1988 he served as Acting-Chief of the agency.

His dedication to public service extended beyond law enforcement through his many years of service with the Eagle Rescue First Aid Squad and Enterprise Fire Company No. 2.

Captain Riker’s commitment to Little Falls and its residents left a lasting impact on our department and community. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his beloved wife, Kathleen, his children, grandchildren, great-granddaughter, brother, extended family, friends, and former colleagues.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, June 18, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Santangelo Funeral Home, 635 McBride Avenue, Woodland Park. A funeral service will be held at the funeral home on Friday, June 19, 2026, at 11:30 a.m., with guests welcome to arrive beginning at 11:00 a.m. Entombment will follow at Laurel Grove Cemetery in Totowa.

We thank Captain Riker for his lifetime of dedicated service. His legacy will not be forgotten.

Rest in peace, Captain. We have the watch from here.

It’s all fun and games until someone gets dunked! 🎡💦

Our officers had a blast hanging out with the students at the School 3 Carnival today, but we quickly learned that the students have impeccable aim. We are starting to think we were invited just for Officer Sayad to be dunked!

Safety First! 🚲🛴 E-Bike, Scooter, and Pedestrian Safety Presentation

A huge thank you to Corporal Pinnola (Little Falls PD), Captain Aguilera (Woodland Park PD), and Patrolman Parlegreco (Totowa PD) for visiting Passaic Valley Regional High School today!

They provided an essential breakdown of the new New Jersey e-bike and scooter laws, which are crucial for keeping our students and pedestrians safe. With new regulations including changes to insurance, registration requirements, and age restrictions, it’s more important than ever to stay informed.

Let’s keep our community roads and trails safe by riding responsibly and respecting the new guidelines. If you have questions about the presentation or the new laws, reach out to your local police department or visit the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission website.

Healthy relationships start with awareness. 💜

The Little Falls Police Department is proud to stand with the Little Falls Domestic Violence Awareness Committee and the Passaic County Prosecutor's Office today.

We are at Passaic Valley Regional High School speaking with the Junior and Senior classes about an incredibly important topic: Teen Dating Violence.

Understanding the signs of a healthy relationship and recognizing the red flags of an unhealthy one is a vital skill for our students. We are committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for our youth.

Let’s keep the conversation going. Talk to your teens, set healthy boundaries, and remember: you are never alone.
