The Community Policing Unit has several programs to assist residents and businesses in Green Brook with crime prevention techniques and loss prevention awareness.
Vacation House Checks: Anyone planning a vacation or anticipating an extended absence from their home, can arrange to have their homes checked by a Police Officer periodically during that absence. A short form is required to be completed with contact information and emergency contacts. For more information contact the Community Policing Unit at (732) 968-1188 or send an email to community@greenbrookpd.org.
Home Security Survey Program: This program will help residents make their homes "hard targets" for burglars. A trained Crime Prevention Officer will conduct a security survey of the home to identify weaknesses in the home's security protection. The Officer will look at everything from landscape and lighting design to window and door locks and make recommendations to remedy those problems identified. You can also obtain literature on conducting your own Home Security Survey. For more information contact the Community Policing Unit at (732) 968-1188 or send an email to community@greenbrookpd.org.
Bike Registration Program: This program enables residents to record bicycle information with the Police Department in case this bicycle is lost or stolen. This program is extremely useful in identifying and returning a child's bike should that bike be lost or stolen. A short form is required to be completed and a registration number and sticker is provided to the participant to be placed on the bicycle. For more information contact the Traffic Unit at (732) 968-1188 or send an email to traffic@greenbrookpd.org.
Loss Prevention Program: This program is designed for retail businesses. A trained Crime Prevention Officer will conduct a security survey of the business and make recommendations to help in the prevention of shoplifting and robberies. The Officer will meet with staff and provide information on what to look for in the detection and prevention shoplifting. This program is especially useful during the Holiday shopping season when incidents of shoplifting are increased.
