No matter how you 'slice' it, wearing a helmet is always a great choice, and helmet hair is always cool. Keep riding responsibly, kids! 😎

Congratulations to the Allen W. Roberts Elementary School fifth graders on graduating from the L.E.A.D. program! Through this course, students gained vital skills to resist drugs, prevent cyberbullying, and stand against violence.

During the ceremony, Officer Carmine Boccellari chose one standout winner from each class to read their essay, sharing powerful reflections on the life lessons they learned. Afterward, the graduates celebrated by hitting the field for an epic kickball game against Officer Boccellari. Word on the street is the kids showed absolutely no mercy, proving they can handle tough life lessons and dominate the diamond!

Congrats L.E.A.D graduates! 🎓✨

The Salt Brook first grade Daisy Troop took over the department yesterday! These future leaders toured the station, checked out our patrol cars, and learned all about our daily gear. They brought amazing energy and great questions, but their absolute favorite part? Spending some time behind bars in our jail cells!

We had a blast hanging out with the Daisy Troop today, we hope you guys had as much fun as we did! Thank you for coming by, bringing the best energy, and keeping us on our toes. 🚓

Officer Gelormini was out on patrol and caught these trendsetters rocking the coolest look in town: a properly strapped helmet. Protecting your brain is always in fashion, and it just earned these kids some free pizza! 🍕✨

🔥 RUNNING FOR A REASON! 🔥

Today, our officers teamed up with some New Providence High School students and had the incredible honor of carrying the Flame of Hope in the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run! 🏃‍♂️

This amazing event raises vital funds and awareness for the inspiring athletes of the Special Olympics. We proudly received the torch from the Summit Police Department and handed it off to the Berkeley Heights Police Department to keep the journey going.

We also have to give a massive shout-out to Salt Brook Elementary School! Seeing all the students and staff outside cheering, waving signs, and screaming at the top of their lungs gave our runners the ultimate energy boost. You all rock!

Thank you to everyone who came out to line the streets and support this beautiful cause!

C is for Community … and Cookies! 🍪👮‍♂‍

We appreciate everyone who came out and helped make "Cookies with a Cop" such a sweet success. A special shoutout to the New Providence Recreation Department & Prestige Diner & Restaurant for helping put it all together.

(Not pictured: Most of the kids. Turns out chocolate-covered fingers make it impossible to operate a smartphone camera. Lesson learned.) 🍫

Until next time, stay safe and don’t be a tough cookie!
