Chief Matthew T. Lloyd and the Aberdeen Township Police Department Traffic Safety Unit are honored to participate in the next upcoming statewide Goal: Zero initiative on Saturday, September 5th, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

This Goal: Zero enforcement and awareness detail is dedicated to the memory of Judi Fox-Hernandez—a deeply missed mother, wife, and friend who was tragically struck by a driver while jogging in Aberdeen Township on September 4, 2024.

Judi’s vibrant spirit, generous heart, and passion for adventure left an indelible mark on everyone who knew her. She lit up every room she entered and brought warmth, laughter, and unforgettable memories wherever she went. Her absence is a heavy weight felt every day by her loved ones and our community.

In Judi’s memory, her family urges all drivers to slow down, eliminate distractions, and help the Aberdeen Police Department achieve our goal of zero traffic fatalities.

Know the Law: New Jersey’s Safe Passing Law

• Give 4 Feet: Drivers are required by state law to leave at least 4 feet of clearance when passing pedestrians, joggers, or cyclists.
• If 4 Feet Isn't Possible: You must slow down to 25 mph (or below the posted speed limit) and be prepared to stop until it is safe to pass.

Let's work together to keep our roads safe for everyone.

🚌🎒 Back to School Safety Reminder 🎒🚌

The Aberdeen Twp Police Dept Special Services Division would like to remind the public that with school beginning this week, drivers should use extra caution as students return to classrooms and school buses return to our roadways.

Please keep these key safety tips in mind while driving throughout our community:

Slow down and stay alert around school buses and bus stops. Children may be crossing the street or approaching a bus from areas that are difficult for drivers to see.

🛑 Remember the law: When a school bus displays flashing red lights and extends its stop arm, STOP. Never attempt to pass a stopped school bus when children are loading or unloading.

Avoid distractions: Give yourself a few extra minutes, put the phone down, and watch for students throughout our neighborhoods.

A safe school year starts with all of us. Let's work together to protect our kids!

🚌 BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY REMINDER 🚌

As students prepare to head back to school, the Aberdeen Township Police Department Traffic Safety Unit reminds all motorists to exercise extra caution in and around school zones, bus stops, and crosswalks throughout the township.

Please remember:

• Slow Down: Obey all posted school zone speed limits.

• Yield to Pedestrians: Stop for crossing guards and pedestrians at crosswalks.

• Stop for School Buses: Never pass a stopped school bus when its flashing red lights are active and the stop arm is extended.

• Stay Focused: Eliminate all distractions and put your phone away while driving.

• Exercise Patience: Expect increased traffic and allow extra time during morning drop-off and afternoon dismissal hours.

Children can be unpredictable, and taking a few extra seconds to slow down and stay alert can make all the difference. Let’s work together as a community to ensure every student arrives at school and returns home safely!

Wishing all of our students, parents, and staff a safe, happy, and successful school year! 🎒🍎

🚨 **DRIVE SOBER OR GET PULLED OVER** 🚨

"I'm fine to drive" is a choice that can ruin lives in a split second.

With about 30% of all traffic crash fatalities in the United States involving drunk drivers, the Aberdeen Township Police Department is out in full force to keep our community and roadways safe.

Drunk driving is 100% preventable. Protect yourself, your passengers, and everyone on the road by planning ahead:

🚗 Schedule a rideshare (Uber, Lyft, etc.)

🚕 Call a local taxi service

🔑 Designate a sober driver to get you home safely

The consequences simply aren't worth it. Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.

🤔 Think it won’t happen to you? Think again.

Drinking and driving is a choice with devastating consequences. It can lead directly to a DUI arrest, or even worse, a tragic and fatal crash that changes lives forever.

Always plan for a sober ride home before you take your first drink—your safety, and the safety of everyone else on the road, depends on it.

The Aberdeen Township Police Department is proud to participate in the national crackdown on impaired driving. We will have zero tolerance for impaired drivers. Make the responsible choice.

The best way to avoid a DUI is simple. If you’re high, don't drive. Find another way home. Drive High, Get a DUI.
