Welcome to the official Facebook page of the South River Police Department. This page was created to share information with, listen to and interact with the community. Information is shared about community events, safety tips, traffic problems, road closures, department news, missing pets, school closures and much more.
If you have an emergency or need to report a crime, please do not use our Facebook page. If you need assistance, dial 9-1-1 for emergencies or 732-238-1000 for non-emergencies.
While we understand that social media is a 24/7 medium, our moderation capabilities are not. Our department’s social media platforms are monitored periodically and we respond to comments and messages as soon as possible.
Please keep in mind that we strive to share information and alerts as soon as possible, but in the cases of breaking or unfolding incidents, our attention is often focused on handling the situation at hand. Oftentimes, in the case of any investigation (especially ongoing ones), we are not able to release certain details and information. Please understand that as soon as we are able to or permitted to, we will pass the information on to all of you.
Comments and interaction are encouraged but, while this is an open forum, it's also a family friendly one. In addition to keeping it family friendly, we ask that you please adhere to the following:
• Avoid profanity and objectionable content
• Keep comments civil and on topic
• Avoid sharing personal information
• Do not imply or encourage illegal activity
• No defamatory, threatening or hateful comments
• No advertisements or spam
• Do not jeopardize an ongoing investigation
• Do not compromise the safety of the public
Posting information other than what the South River Police Department has released is discouraged. We reserve the right to delete comments that contain any of the above content and block repeat offenders. Opinions and views contained in posts and comments made by others do not necessarily reflect those of the South River Police Department. The appearance of external links on this site does not constitute official endorsement by the South River Police Department.
