The North Plainfield Police Department has placed a Project Medicine Drop Box in the lobby of Boro Hall. It is located just inside the front door to the Municipal Building and is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Project Medicine Drop Box is provided by the State Division of Consumer Affairs and is an effort to safely and securely dispose of any unused prescription medications. See picture above. Project Medicine Drop is an important component of the New Jersey Attorney General’s effort to stop the diversion and abuse of prescription drugs, including highly addictive opiate painkillers. Through this initiative, the State Division of Consumer Affairs installs secure “prescription drug drop boxes” at police departments, sheriff’s offices, and State Police barracks across New Jersey, allowing citizens to safely dispose of their unused, excess, or expired prescription medications. Members of the public are invited to visit the Project Medicine Drop sites and drop off any unused prescription medications anonymously and with no questions asked. Most Project Medicine Drop sites make this service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. By giving New Jerseyans a safe and secure method to dispose of unneeded medications, Project Medicine Drop helps prevent the abuse of these drugs. This initiative also protects New Jersey’s environment by keeping these drugs out of landfills and out of the water supply. More information about Project Medicine Drop, including the full list of Project Medicine Drop locations, can be found at www.NJConsumerAffairs.gov/meddrop. |

The Community Policing Office is a unit within the North Plainfield Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division. It comes under the direction of the Lieutenant assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division. The following units and services are provided through the Cop Shoppe: The Crime Prevention Unit, LEAD and G.R.E.A.T. programs, the School Resource Officer, the S.T.E.P. Program, and the bicycle patrol program. The Crime Prevention Unit seeks to reduce crime through interaction with the community by means of educational seminars and presentations. The crime prevention unit is responsible for the Neighborhood Watch Program. Currently there are twelve organized Neighborhood Watch Programs throughout the Borough. Neighborhood Watches bring neighbors together to watch out for each other and notify the police of any suspicious activity. Please contact the Crime Prevention Detective if you are interested in starting or joining one. The Unit also prints and disseminates crime prevention brochures to crime victims on a daily basis in response to the police reports generated. The Unit also fingerprints children at various fairs and fun days held during the year throughout the Borough. The duties of the Crime Prevention Office are handled by Detective Domizi. |

The G.R.E.A.T. Program is divided into two segments, one is taught in the third grade and the other in the seventh grade. |
|||||
The G.R.E.A.T. Program is designed to help children set self directed goals; resist negative peer pressures; learn conflict resolution skills; and understand how gangs and youth violence negatively impact the quality of their lives. The students discover for themselves the ramifications of gang and youth violence through structured exercises and interactive approaches to learning. Through the combined efforts of law enforcement, the schools, and the community, we can make a difference in the lives of children across America by providing them with the necessary skills and information to say "NO" to gangs and acts of random violence.
