🚨 The 2026 Click It or Ticket Campaign Has Begun! 🚨

From May 18th through May 31st, the Stone Harbor Police Department is joining law enforcement agencies across the state for the annual Click It or Ticket mobilization. Our officers will be out in full force conducting roving patrols and hightened seatbelt enforcement.

Our goal is simple: to make sure every driver and passenger buckles up. Seatbelts save lives. No matter how short your trip is, skip the ticket, just CLICK IT! 🚔

The Stone Harbor Police Department will be participating in the statewide “Goal: Zero” high-visibility traffic enforcement campaign on Sunday, May 17, 2026, from 3PM to 7PM.

During this initiative, officers will be conducting proactive traffic enforcement throughout the Borough with a focus on improving roadway and pedestrian safety. Enforcement efforts will target violations commonly associated with serious motor vehicle crashes, including:
• Distracted Driving
• Seatbelt Violations
• Reckless Driving
• Failure to Yield to Pedestrians
• Stop Sign & Traffic Signal Violations
This enforcement campaign serves as an important reminder to drive responsibly, stay alert, and help keep our communities safe.

This month’s “Goal Zero” enforcement effort is dedicated to the memory of Manchester Township Patrolman Robert T. Tobias, who was tragically struck and killed in the line of duty on May 17, 1975, during a motor vehicle stop on State Highway 70. We honor his service and sacrifice.

Please drive safely and help us work toward ZERO fatalities on our roadways.

🛑 No Turn On Red
Starting May 1, "No Turn on Red" regulations are officially enforced at our posted traffic signals at the busy intersections on 96th Street. Please pay extra attention to the signs, wait for the green light, and help us keep our heavy summer pedestrian traffic safe! 🚶‍♂️🚦

SCAM ALERT

Please see the below post from Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey H. Sutherland and Sheriff Robert Nolan in regards to a recent telephone scam in which individuals are receiving calls from persons falsely claiming to be members of the Cape May County Sheriff’s Office.

Cape May Court House, New Jersey - Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey H. Sutherland together with Sheriff Robert Nolan are alerting residents to a recent telephone scam in which individuals are receiving calls from persons falsely claiming to be members of the Cape May County Sheriff’s Office.

In these calls, the scammers tell victims that they owe money for fines or missed court appearances and threaten that a warrant will be issued for their arrest if payment is not made immediately. The callers often demand payment through unconventional methods such as gift cards, wire transfers, or other non-traditional means.

The Cape May County Sheriff’s Office and all law enforcement agencies do not contact individuals by phone to demand payment or threaten arrest in exchange for immediate payment. Law enforcement agencies will never request payment via gift cards, prepaid debit cards, or similar methods. Residents are advised to hang up immediately if they receive such a call and do not provide personal or financial information.

If you believe you have been the victim of this scam, please contact the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office at 609-465-1135.

The Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office urges all residents to remain vigilant and share this information with family members, particularly elderly relatives who are often targeted by these types of scams.
