Sgt. Roselli - What's Your Y
If you're facing adversity, don't say "why me?" - say "why not?". Check out Sgt. Roselli's inspirational video from Yolked. After treatment for his second bout with brain cancer, he was at a crossroads. Would he give up on pursuing a healthy, active lifestyle, or would he work hard to regain the form he had before being diagnosed and provide a positive example for his children? Sgt. Roselli chose the path of hard work and sacrifice. In this clip, he discusses the powerful motivation behind his choice. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing more of his inspiring story.
National #SeatCheckSaturday Child Safety Seat Check event
We’re sure many of you saw the magician we had entertaining the kids at our National Night Out event earlier this week. But, what you may not know is that towards the end of the event, one of the birds he uses in his act escaped and decided to perch itself high up in a tree. That’s when South River Electric Utility came to the rescue. Thanks to them and their bucket truck, the bird was quickly “rescued” and reunited with Eliot the Super Magic Man so he can continue entertaining kids at our future events. Thank you to SREU for helping with a happy outcome!
National Night Out is HAPPENING NOW until 9:00pm! Join us for a live band, food, rides, activities, vendors, community groups and, most important - LOTS OF FUN! Join us at Morningside Avenue and Montgomery Street for a fun time while promoting community togetherness!

South River Police Department was recently featured in a News 12 New Jersey story on how law enforcement is training to better handle calls involving autistic residents. All officers and dispatchers here at SRPD have undergone this training, which is geared specifically towards the law enforcement field. Law enforcement interactions with autistic individuals can be particularly challenging. This training focuses on educating officers and dispatchers on how to recognize an individual suffering from autism as well as teaching various techniques that help make the situation easier on everybody involved. With this training, our department is better equipped to serve autistic residents and their families.
