The Evesham Community lost a great man, police officer, loving husband and father. Detective Halpern made our community and all those around him better through his presence.

Our loss hurts. Please keep his memory alive, please keep his family, the members of the Evesham Township Police (NJ) Department and the entire Evesham Township staff, along with our community in your thoughts.

I lost a man I had a great amount of respect and admiration for. Detective Halpern will be missed.

Rest easy my friend.

We are heartbroken to share the passing of Detective Jared Halpern.

Jared passed away last night, surrounded by the love of his family, after courageously facing his second battle with an extremely rare germ cell cancer.

While so many came to know Jared for his incredible strength, resilience, and determination throughout his fight, those who had the privilege of serving alongside him knew that his greatest legacy extends far beyond his illness. Jared was an exceptional police officer who served the Evesham Township community with honor, integrity, and compassion. He was a trusted mentor, a loyal friend, and the kind of person who always put others before himself. His professionalism, unwavering commitment, and sense of humor left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

Above all else, Jared was a devoted husband and father. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Jillian, and their two young children, who were the center of his world.

Our department, and our entire community are grieving an unimaginable loss. We ask that you please keep Jillian, their children, the Halpern family, Jared’s friends, and our entire Evesham Township Police family in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate the difficult days ahead and learn how to move forward without one of our own.

Jared’s courage, kindness, and selfless service will never be forgotten. His legacy will live on in the lives he touched, the officers he mentored, the community he protected, and the family he loved so deeply.

Rest easy, Detective Halpern. We have the watch from here.

Thank you to all of our staff!!!

Evesham Township would like to once again express our deep gratitude to our dedicated teams across our Evesham DPW, Parks, Golf, MUA and contractors for their incredible efforts during and after the recent Winter Storm.

We also want to thank our Police, Fire, and EMS personnel for their constant vigilance and work during these challenging conditions.

Even after the snow stopped falling, our crews have remained on the move this week working tirelessly in low temperatures to clear our roadways and manage the continued cleanup of downed trees and branches to ensure our neighborhoods are safe and accessible.

Your hard work and commitment to our community do not go unnoticed. Thank you for everything you do to keep Evesham moving!

Operations are ongoing to remove a massive amount of snow from our roadways.

I greatly appreciate our staff’s efforts. The Department of Public Works, Parks & Open Space, Golf Maintenance, the Municipal Utilities Authority and our private contractors have been working to get all our roadways passable.

To report roads that need plowing attention, please contact the Evesham Police Department by calling 856-983-1111. The Police Department will coordinate with staff to get plowing to locations of need.

02/23/2026

Crews have been working throughout the night and will continue today to get our roadways passable and safe. Please don’t deposit snow back onto the roadways.

When we work together, we will ensure all are safe.

When it's time to clean up all this snow later today and tomorrow, please help the safety of our roads by keeping snow out of the street!

Per Evesham Township Ordinance 133-2: “It shall be unlawful for any person to remove snow or ice from any private property and place the same onto the sidewalk or roadway of any street in Evesham Township.”

See: https://ecode360.com/10046334 for direct reference.

Adding snow back to a street creates immediate hazards. When motorists drive over this snow, it becomes compacted and can refreeze. This creates dangerous ice patches and slippery conditions for drivers and pedestrians alike, undoing the work of roads that have been plowed.

Please shovel/blow snow back onto your property where it will not be a hazard.

Thank you for again your cooperation in keeping our roads safe for everyone!
