Five-year-old Maxwell from Dunellen has been fighting biliary atresia since birth. After an incredible journey, he is now home following a lifesaving liver transplant! Max loves police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances, so it was especially meaningful to have so many local first responders, including a New Jersey State Police helicopter flyover, there to welcome him home.

Joining in the welcome were Mayor Jason F. Cilento and members of the Dunellen Borough Police Department, Green Brook Police Department, Middlesex Borough Police Department, Piscataway Township Police Department, Hudson County Sheriff’s Office, New Jersey State Police, Dunellen Defender Fire Company #1, Green Brook Volunteer Fire Company, Dunellen Rescue Squad, South Plainfield EMS, and many others from the community.

Thank you to everyone who came out to show their support. Welcome home, Max!

🌿 Did you spot our "shrub" today? If you had your head buried in your phone, probably not! 👀📱

Today, the Dunellen Police Department conducted a Distracted Driving Enforcement Detail on the 100 block of North Washington Ave. We specifically chose this highly-trafficked, pedestrian-heavy downtown area to enforce New Jersey's Handheld Cell Phone Law and protect our community.

The results? Our "shrub" was busy. We issued 74 citations to drivers distracted by their devices in a six-hour window.

Let this be a reminder: That text or notification can wait. Keep your eyes on the road, not your screen! 🛑🚗

Happy Update!

On May 4, 2026, at 5:53 PM, Sgt. Brian Robbins, DSgt. Nicholas Goldman, Det. Anthony Issler, and Ptlm. Andrew Mortensen responded to a residence on New Market Ave regarding an unresponsive male who had become unconscious while doing yard work. Responding officers administered several rounds of CPR and deployed an AED before EMS staff transported him to a local hospital.

Today, Dunellen Police were elated to welcome a surprise visitor: Dunellen resident Daniel Mackiewicz, the very man our officers assisted that day! We are proud to share that he is doing well and making a full recovery. Thank you, Daniel, for stopping by—we wish you continued health and strength!
