One of our traditions during National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week is capturing a rare group photo of all of our department’s 9-1-1 Dispatchers.

Meet Cara, James, Daniela, Kevin, Kaylan, Adam, Sarah, Sasha, and Krystina — the calm voices behind the calls, working tirelessly every day to keep our residents, officers, and first responders safe.

This week, we’re proud to show our appreciation for everything they do. In recognition of their dedication and hard work, they were presented with a proclamation from Mayor Peter Guindi officially declaring this week as Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.

If you missed it, be sure to check out our post from earlier this week to learn more about the critical and often unseen work our dispatchers perform.

Thank you for all that you do!

Join us in recognizing and thanking the incredible 9-1-1 Dispatchers of the South River Police Department’s Communications Division—our community’s critical lifeline in times of need.

Staffed by nine fully certified professionals, this dedicated team answers every emergency and non-emergency call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Beyond taking calls, they coordinate radio communications and dispatch services for police officers, the South River Fire Department, Emergency Medical Services, and support operations for the Electric Utility, Water Department, and Department of Public Works.

In moments of crisis, they bring clarity to chaos—serving as calm, steady voices when it matters most. Their work is demanding, often unseen, and absolutely essential to keeping both our residents and first responders safe.

A heartfelt thank you to Adam, Kevin, Daniela, Sarah, Kaylan, Sasha, Krystina, Cara, and James for your unwavering dedication and service to our community and first responders. We appreciate you today and every day.

The South River Police Department is providing an opportunity for the safe disposal of unused or expired medications through our Prescription Drug Take Back Initiative.

Medications not properly disposed of can cause harm to the environment or can fall into the wrong hands. More than 100,000 Americans die every year due to a drug poisoning or overdose, often from drugs obtained from the home medicine cabinet.

Stop by South River Police Headquarters (61 Main Street) on Saturday, April 25th between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM to take advantage of this program.

Can't make it? Our Project Medicine Drop program is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in the lobby of our police headquarters (61 Main Street) to safely dispose of unused or expired medications. For more information, visit https://southriverpd.org/project-medicine-drop

The South River Police Department is reminding residents about the Middlesex County Special Needs Registry, now known as National Public Safety Alliance for Individuals with Disabilities (NPS-AID), a joint effort between the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office and the South River Police Department.

About the NPS-AID

The Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office Chapter of the NPS-AID is a no cost, voluntary service open to any individual with special needs who resides, works, or attends school in Middlesex County. The purpose of the registry is to help law enforcement and first responders better assist special needs residents during an emergency situation or a police encounter. The registry provides crucial information to first responders regarding a registrant’s special needs including physical or mental impairment, emergency contact information, physical description, and current photograph.

Who qualifies to register?

Special needs are defined as a physical or mental impairment that limits one or more life activities. Examples of special needs include, but are not limited to:

- Autism
- Mobility issues (wheelchairs, power chairs, walkers)
- Dementia or Alzheimer’s
- Cognitive Impairments
- Oxygen Dependency
- Hearing, vision, or speech deficits
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Mental Health Issues
- Dialysis Dependent
- Paralysis / Stroke Patients
- Developmental / Intellectual Disabilities
- Life Threatening Allergies

How do you register?

Individuals can register themselves via a secure online portal. Alternatively, individuals can be registered by a friend, family member, or caretaker. To begin the registration process, visit the link at the end of this posting.

If an individual wishes to register but cannot do so online, please email [email protected] or call 732-745-3300. Individuals may also contact the South River Police Department's Special Needs Registry liaison for assistance with the registration process. If you need help in another language, please contact the South River Police Department's Special Needs Registry liaison.

NPS-AID Liaison

Officer Danielle Stone
Phone: 732-254-1150, ext. 136
Email: [email protected]

What information is needed to register?

The registration process includes the registrant’s personal identifiers such as their name, address, date of birth, height, weight, emergency contact information, recent photo, and details about their special needs. Optional information fields include more detailed medical history, and social worker information.

Registry Decals

Each registrant will be provided with decals of various sizes that can be placed on the front entrance of the registrant’s residence as well as on the window of any vehicle in which they regularly travel. The purpose of the decal is to alert first responders that someone in the residence or vehicle has some degree of special need and they should respond accordingly. The use of decals by registrants is strictly voluntary and is not required.
