NEWSLETTER We here hope that everyone is looking forward to spring. As the temperatures rise and daylight hours increase so will everyone’s activities outside. We pride ourselves as a walking community and encourage everyone to enjoy what the Borough has to offer and help us keep our community great. Our primary goal is everyone's safety. With this in mind we encourage everyone to help us and one another. It can be as little as picking up a piece of rubbish and throwing it away so someone does not trip on it and become injured. Or by calling 911 to report a car that is too close to an intersection or limiting visibility. Or by monitoring you and your child’s driving behavior as excitement grows towards the approaching summer--remember you are your child's role model. We are working on revising our current parking ordinances with the Mayor's Office and the Zoning and Ordinance Committee to promote the safety and aesthetics of the Borough. As you walk about the Borough we encourage you to follow these suggestions: ● Wear bright clothes to enhance visibility for motorists. ● Travel in a group whenever possible especially at night. ● Always carry a cell phone on you. Do not hesitate to photograph or video record any suspicious activity. ● Whenever possible always cross at a marked crosswalk. If you cannot find a crosswalk it is the pedestrian's responsibility to ensure it is safe to cross. ● Always stick to main streets if possible. These streets are usually the best lit streets which promote safety and usually have sidewalks. If you often walk in the dark carry a flashlight. ● If you have a dog understand that it must be on a leash. If you see another dog walker approaching and you know your dog gets excited--please let the other dog pass or safely cross to the other side of the street. Also please have a bag on hand for any waste deposits. The bag can be discarded at one of our many trash receptacles around the borough. ● If you see something that is unlawful or suspicious please call 911 at once or feel free to come to our station to report it to us. ● Please follow us on Facebook at the Brentwood Borough Police Department or brentwoodboro.com to learn of the most up to date information that affects you.
