Dear Resident,
Please note that Town Hall Municipal Offices and the recycling center are closed on Monday, January 16 in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. The drop box in the Town Hall vestibule is open 24/7 as are the many on line services and forms on the Township website. The police are always open and can be reached at 732-536-0100. For emergencies, dial 911.
January 9 was National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. Please join me in thanking the men and women of the Marlboro Division of Police who serve and protect the residents of Marlboro. We appreciate all they do to keep us safe every day of the year.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Safety Update – Please remember to lock your car doors, take the key fobs inside, remove garage door openers, lock your doors and set alarms. If you have not yet done so request an ‘I Took the Pledge’ lawn sign and download the ‘Neighbors’ app. Most importantly, if you see anything out of place or suspicious call the police at 732-536-0100. For crimes in progress dial 911. To read more about how we, as a community, are working together to keep our homes and families safe, click HERE.
