The Lyndhurst Police Department is excited to announce that we are back and once again continuing to expand beyond our Pink Patch Project initiative.

High Risk Stop, Interdicting Cancer, will be in full effect during the month of October.
The Lyndhurst Police Department continues to support breast cancer awareness, while supporting and raising awareness for all forms of cancer, including childhood cancer.

Multiple forms of cancer have touched our agency throughout the years. Our agency and community have unfortunately lost several retired officers, close friends, and family members to multiple forms of cancer. Additionally, several of our retired officers have either fought or continue to fight cancer presently.

Cancer does not discriminate; it impacts our society without prejudice. It is because of this; we have chosen to continue our mission of raising awareness and promoting early detection and risk reduction for all cancers.

In honor of all lives lost, survivors and those currently fighting cancer, we will be selling apparel displaying this initiative.

All proceeds will be donated to Tomorrow’s Children’s Fund.

[email protected] or (201) 939-2900 Ext. 2603.

All apparel is available for PRE-ORDER ONLY on our online store: https://precisioncustomapparel.chipply.com/LyndhurstBreastCancer/?action=viewall

** Message From Mayor Robert B. Giangeruso, Commissioner of Public Safety**

During this evening’s rush hour commute, the Belleville Turnpike Bridge, commonly referred to as the North Arlington Bridge, was closed for unknown reasons during unannounced road construction. Neither our township, nor the North Arlington Borough were informed of this plan prior to this closure.

As a result, overwhelming traffic was created from the detour associated with this closure; creating gridlock for nearly two hours on the southwestern section of the township leading to the DeJessa Memorial Bridge. Traffic was backed up well into North Arlington and north of Valley Brook Avenue on Riverside Avenue. Additionally, traffic stretched beyond Stuyvesant Avenue on Kingsland Avenue and Copeland Avenue at the height of the closure.

The Lyndhurst Police Department deployed multiple officers on traffic posts and launched a drone to gain situational awareness. Simultaneously our Police Department attempted to gather real-time information as to why this closure was initiated from surrounding law enforcement agencies and the New Jersey Department of Transportation.

As of this time, no clear answer has been provided for this unacceptable lapse in communication. Tonight’s overwhelming congestion created a serious public safety risk to motorists as well as our local EMS units, who traverse these bridges routinely to transport patients to hospitals in Essex County.

We will continue to work toward a resolution so that an incident such as this evening’s does not happen again.

I would like to commend our Police Department for taking swift action and extend our gratitude to neighboring North Arlington and Nutley Police Departments for their assistance.

Mayor Robert B. Giangeruso
