We've been very fortunate in our area for quite some time...compared to most parts of New Jersey, and the rest of the country for that matter, very been very safe in our parks, streets, and shopping centers. Lately, however, we've had a murder in Berkeley, gunshots in Brick Plaza, and a jogger attacked in Toms River.
More public awareness and outcry is needed to focus attention on the problem and find solutions -- before these isolated incidents become a trend. Most of the crime seems to be related to gangs -- either real ones or, more likely, regular kids acting out with a gang mentality. Whether more cooperation is needed between the police and school system, or Police need more resources, Riverguy is not smart enough to know. But I do think awareness of the problem -- early on -- is the first step toward solving it.

REALLY NOT TRUE I WAS ROBBED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT ON MAY 3. THAT WAS A SATURDAY AROUND 11:00 IN THE MORNING. I LEFT MY HOME FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND KIDS CLEANED ME OUT. THATS RIGHT IN THE GOOD OLD TOWN OF SILVERTON. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANY THING PLEASE REPORT IT TO THE POLICE DO NOT BE SCARED MOST OF THE ITEMS STOLEN BELONGED TO MY KIDS. THE ONES WHO DID THIS WERE PATHETIC SLIME.
Crime is increasing especially with the position our economy is in. More robberys have been reported, ect. I think there should be more programs in the schools for the awareness of children, and self defense classes for the woman. Also, one thing to laugh about. I was recently in a corporation shopping store about a week ago when a robbery took place. The DOVER TOwnship cops showed up 32 mins later. So im sure a lot of these suspects wont be takin in in cuffs. Would just like to know what took DTP 32 mins to show up to a robbery. Cant do nothing but laugh sometimes. So many things need to get changed but they wont and our words me nothing. Just watch out for yourself and loved ones thats all you can do.
