Our 2026 Youth Police Academy has officially come to a close! Over the past three days, our recruits had the opportunity to experience a glimpse into the life of a police officer. Their days were packed with physical training, drill and marching, classroom instruction, hands-on activities, and, of course, the legendary Botto's lunches that kept everyone fueled throughout the week! We want to thank each and every recruit for their enthusiasm, hard work, and positive attitude. Most importantly, we want to thank their parents for allowing us to spend these three days with their children. It is a privilege to be a small part of their lives, and we hope they leave with lasting memories, new friendships, and a greater appreciation for law enforcement and public service. A special thank you goes out to our outstanding instructors who dedicated their time and energy to making this program a success: Class

🚨 Community Safety Reminder 🚨

Over the weekend, our community experienced several motor vehicle burglaries and two vehicle thefts. In each case, the vehicles were left unlocked, and the stolen vehicles had keys left inside.

As a community, we all need to stay vigilant and take simple steps to protect our property. Please remember to:🔒 Lock your vehicle doors🔑 Never leave your keys inside your vehicle💼 Remove valuables from your car, day or night

The Woolwich Township Police Department is actively investigating several suspects connected to these recent burglaries. Officers are also conducting dozens of additional patrols throughout our neighborhoods, but we cannot be everywhere at once.

If you see anything suspicious, please call 911.

A few seconds of prevention can make a big difference. Please help keep our neighborhood safe.

A big thank you to Mary Beth Koniecki for her generous donation of sunscreen to help keep our officers protected while working outdoors this summer. As temperatures rise and more time is spent in the sun, this thoughtful contribution goes a long way in supporting the health and safety of our personnel.

June serves as Melanoma Awareness Month, and Mary’s commitment to spreading awareness and promoting sun safety through her nonprofit, The Sunscreen Project, is truly appreciated. The Sunscreen Project, a NJ Nonprofit Corporation

We were honored to serve as the Gloucester County stop for Chapter 2 of the Police Unity Tour this past weekend as riders continued their journey to Washington, D.C. in honor of our fallen law enforcement officers. Thank you to everyone who took time out of their day to come out and support the riders and the tremendous mission they represent. The outpouring of support from the community, elected officials, and fellow law enforcement officers was truly appreciated. We are especially proud of our own Ptl. Lindsay Deputy for participating in this year’s tour and representing our agency throughout this meaningful journey. We wish all of the riders safe travels as they continue on to Washington, D.C., and thank them for their commitment to ensuring the sacrifices of our fallen heroes are never forgotten.
