Message from the North Caldwell Police
10/28/2021

As the season's change and darkness fall much earlier in the evening, police are advising residents to lock their vehicles and not to leave engines running. Residents should take the following precautions:

  1. Leave enough lights on to illuminate the exterior of your home and driveway areas.
  2. Report suspicious activity, people, and strange cars to the Police.
  3. Keep an eye on your neighbors’ property and vehicles.
  4. Park vehicles inside garages when possible.
  5. If you must leave cars parked in your driveway, make sure that they are locked with alarms set, and that the keys or fobs are in a secure location inside your home - Never leave your keys or fobs inside your vehicle for any reason. 
  6. Do not leave the dealer supplied "Valet Keys" in your glove compartment or anywhere inside your vehicle.
  7. Do not leave valuables or anything containing personal information inside vehicles.
  8. Lastly, NEVER leave vehicles running for any reason while unattended. Thieves are known to drive through neighborhoods looking for vehicles left running while warming up.

Please help us help you and keep North Caldwell safe.  Again, please lock your vehicle doors and take the keys out of the vehicle at all times.
