Caught Being Safe!

The Readington Township Police Department has begun its second annual Caught Being Safe campaign.

Today, Ptl. Strohm recognized this young rider for making safe choices while out on their bike. Riders who are “caught being safe” are issued a voucher to one of our participating local businesses, Polar Cub or Rita’s. The campaign will continue throughout the summer.

Great job to this rider, and thank you for helping set a positive example for others in our community.
