Due to the number of complaints received by residents the Pemberton Township Police Department has been actively investigating reports of quads and dirt bikes driving erratically in the streets throughout the Township.

On 05/01/2020 at 10:24pm, officers attempted to stop two quads and a dirt bike in the area of Margaret Street. The dirt bike and quads eluded officers and at one point the dirt bike struck one of the patrol vehicles causing damage. The officer was not injured. Officers were able to stop and take one person into custody off from one of the quads. Robert Velez, 36 years old of Browns Mills was charged with one count of violating 2C:29-2b Eluding Officer which is a 2nd Degree charge as well as numerous traffic violations. The investigation into identifying the other two subjects involved is on-going. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Pemberton Township Police Department at 609-723-8300 or on the Confidential Tip-Line at 609-894-3352 or you can send us a private message on Messenger.

If you are found to be operating a quad or dirt bike in violation of New Jersey State Statutes on a roadway you will be issued a traffic summons. If you run from us when we try to stop you we will investigate and if you’re identified you could face charges of Eluding which is up to a 2nd Degree charge.

Residents in Browns Mills, Pemberton and the surrounding area have experienced several temporary, but still inconvenient, blackouts over the past few days.

JCP&L is aware of this and has informed us that there has been an electrical “loading” issue since Sunday, April 12th that they have been working to correct. While most of the issue has been resolved, JCP&L is continuing to inspect transmission lines from both the ground and the air (via helicopter). JCP&L has assured us that they understand that these are trying times and that power loss only complicates matters. They have further assured us that they are working hard to curtail any further problems.

If someone knocks on your door claiming to be a census worker, please call the police department non-emergency number (609-723-8300) so officers can respond and check these people out.

Training completed! Cameras deployed! You will see our officers wearing the Body Worn Cameras starting today. There is still work to be done in the patrol vehicles but there was no reason to hold up the actual wear of the cameras.

The official department policy for Body Worn Cameras will be posted on our website very soon

Feel free to ask our officers questions about this enhancement to public safety...

Body Worn Camera Update: On the heels of delivering the actual cameras last week, our vendor is now on location installing the necessary equipment into our patrol vehicles and configuring the software necessary to operate the body worn cameras. We don’t have a firm "switch on" date just yet, but it is just days away. There will be more updates to follow.
