I’m honored to have recently had the privilege of swearing in four new, highly-qualified police officers
to help fill the ranks of the Englewood Police Department. A recent string of home burglaries has just
been a reminder that we must remain ever vigilant in keeping our community safe. I want to thank Chief
Suffern, Deputy Chief Halstead, all of our officers for their hard work and dedication. I know there have
been tensions within the community regarding staffing levels and hiring, and this is a strong step towards
ensuring our Englewood PD has the continued resources and personnel to keep our city safe. We welcome
our newest officers and look forward to the additions their diversity and experience will bring to our
Englewood family.

Age-Friendly Englewood looks forward
Age-Friendly Englewood is putting plans in
place for several projects in the months ahead, all
of which will make Englewood better for those
seeking to remain in their homes or in the Engle-
wood community as they age.
The following plans are being developed:
n Benches on sidewalks leading to and from
the central business district.
n Intergenerational programs that bring older
adults and teenagers together.
n Programs focusing on mental health con-
cerns impacting older adults, such as isolation,
depression and anxiety.
n Development of a community garden near
the central business district.
n Blood pressure monitoring program with the
Health Department.
n Sunday afternoon concert series at the
Library.
n Doo-Wop show at bergenPAC to celebrate
Older Americans Month in May.
n Public art and murals that bring people of all
ages together across geography, race, religion and
ethnicity.
n Milestone birthday party for those reaching
age 70, 75, 80, 85 and 90 or older in 2020.
In addition to these exciting plans, Age-
Friendly Englewood is forming an Older Adults
Advisory Committee to advocate for implementa-
tion of age-friendly practices in Englewood. Key
among these are more affordable housing options;
better transportation options for those who no
longer drive; and reaching those who are isolated.
If you are interested in serving on this committee,
call 201-591-5162 or email agefriendlyenglewood@

“An age-friendly community is great for people
of all ages,” says Janet Sharma, Age-Friendly
Englewood coordinator. “Age-friendly practices
will make Englewood a great place to grow up and
to grow old.”
