In an effort to provide more reliable communications with Residents in the Borough of Upper Saddle River, the Upper Saddle River Police Department has implemented Swiftreach Networks, Inc. as our Emergency Notification service provider. SWIFT911™ is a high speed notification program with the capability of delivering recorded warnings to the entire community, via telephone, email, text or pager. There are already many phone numbers in the boroughs database, and as transmitted through the Borough of Upper Saddle River, the system can contact up to four telephone numbers until reaching the designated party. Emergency messages are able to reach TTY (teletypewriter) phones used by those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Additionally, the system employs a Do Not Call component for those who do not wish to receive the alert. Swift911™ in its simplest form is a system that makes phone calls to specific people or areas in the event of an emergency or for sharing important information. All the calls you receive will have the Caller ID of the Borough of Upper Saddle River. If you are not receiving these calls, please fill out the form below to add or update your contact information. You may also remove yourself from our lists.
