The Aberdeen Township Police Department will be participating today, Tuesday, April 14, 2026, in the Goal: Zero high-visibility traffic safety detail, alongside with law enforcement agencies throughout the State of New Jersey.

This enforcement detail will focus on distracted driving, one of the most preventable causes of serious crashes and fatalities on our roadways. As part of the national Put the Phone Away or Pay campaign and the broader Goal: Zero initiative, officers will be actively targeting drivers who are not fully attentive behind the wheel. The use of handheld devices continues to be a major contributing factor in crashes, often resulting in severe or fatal outcomes.

This detail is dedicated to the memory of Paul Miller Jr., who was tragically killed on July 5, 2010, by a distracted tractor-trailer driver in Pennsylvania. Following his death, his mother, Eileen Miller, became a leading advocate for roadway safety. Her efforts led to the passage of “Paul Miller’s Law,” signed in June 2024, which bans the use of handheld devices while driving in Pennsylvania.

On April 14th and throughout the month of April, law enforcement agencies across New Jersey and Pennsylvania are working together to reduce distracted and dangerous driving behaviors that put everyone at risk.

Put the phone away. Stay focused. Arrive safely.
