The USRPD received the below thank you letter from a resident
Chief Rotella,
I am writing to you to share my sincere gratitude for Patrolman Anthony Pulizzano and inform you of a recent experience that occurred on Tuesday, October 6th, 2020.
That day at approximately 12:30 PM, my father was complaining of mild heartburn. Within 30 minutes, the minor heartburn turned into more apparent symptoms of a heart attack. Upon realization of the symptoms, I got my father into the car and began rushing to Valley Hospital in Ridgewood. While on my way, I spotted Patrolman Pulizzano's cruiser on East Saddle River Road. I flagged him down and pleaded to him to escort me to Valley Hospital after briefly explaining the situation. I could tell by the change in his facial expressions that he was legitimately concerned and wanted to do all that he could to help. He informed me that he was not in uniform, so he was unable to provide an escort, but that I should continue making my way to the hospital and he would attempt to contact an alternative town to provide an escort. I followed his instruction and continued to drive to the hospital, all while Patrolman Pulizzano followed closely to ensure my safety.
I was not aware of this at the time, but while he was following me, he had begun communications to PD HQ to request permission for an escort. As soon as he received permission, he turned on his lights and got in front of my vehicle. He escorted me all the way to the emergency room at Valley Hospital, effectively saving what I estimate to be at least 5-8 minutes from the total commute. Upon arrival, emergency room healthcare workers immediately recognized the severity of the situation and confirmed that my father was in fact having a heart attack. They took my father in and began life-saving measures that resulted in an emergency procedure, and thank god, a healthy recovery. My father is now home, as of yesterday, and has already recovered significantly.
I was not immediately permitted to enter as they took my father in to the ER due to concerns associated with the Covid pandemic. Patrolman Pulizzano waited for my father to be admitted, and made sure to speak to me to express his concern, well wishes for my family, and explain why he could not begin the escort immediately. I truly could tell that he legitimately cared for my family.
As I'm sure you are well aware, every single second matters in a dire health situation like this. Every minute that passes could mean life or death. I knew that time mattered as well, and the thought of not getting to the hospital in time during the drive there was absolutely nauseating to me. Patrolman Pulizzano acted quickly, professionally, effectively, and most importantly, with sincere concern for the health & safety of my family. I can't even imagine and I cringe to think about what could have happened if any more time went by without getting my father to the hospital. My entire family is unbelievably grateful for Patrolman Pullizano's actions & courtesy.
To Patrolman Pullizano:
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness, courtesy, professionalism, calming demeanor, and sense of urgency. You are and always will be a hero in my books. I don't know what I can do to repay you for your heroism but I hope that this message will make you at the very least proud of what you do. Thank you for your service.
Thank you to all of the caring police in our state that truly care...I had wonderful experiences while my husband was ill with our great Saddle River Police Dept and are forever grateful with my heart and soul....

*** Traffic Alert ***
Expect delays Lake Street East Bound from Route 17 due to the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run.
This is an important crime alert from the Upper Saddle River Police Department:
During the overnight hours of the last two days, the Upper Saddle River Police Department received reports of burglaries to unlocked motor vehicles. In one instance, the suspects utilized the garage door opener in one vehicle to access the interior of the garage before being scared off by the homeowner. Auto theft and motor vehicle burglary continues to be an enormous issue throughout Bergen County. Between 2018 to the present day, the Upper Saddle River Police Department has received approximately thirty reports of motor vehicle theft and approximately thirty-five reports of burglaries to motor vehicles. These incidents resulted in four high speed pursuits with one culminating in an aggravated assault upon one of our officers, after the suspects purposely rammed his patrol car in an attempt to evade capture. During this time period, nine individuals (both adults and juveniles) were captured and arrested for offenses ranging from Motor Vehicle Theft, Eluding, Burglary and Aggravated Assault on a Police Officer. The stolen vehicles are primarily utilized to perpetrate other crimes such as future motor vehicle thefts, burglary, and robbery. In 2020, two motor vehicles stolen from Upper Saddle River were utilized in shootings that occurred in Essex County. The overwhelming majority of the stolen vehicles are recovered days after the theft. The condition of these recovered cars runs the spectrum of undamaged to totaled. The recovered cars have even been returned with bullet holes from the aforementioned criminal activity.
It is crucial to understand that these individuals are not “joy-riders” and under no circumstances should be confronted. It is also relevant to mention that EVERY vehicle that was stolen was both unlocked and contained a key fob at the time of the theft. The Upper Saddle River Police Department investigates all motor vehicle theft incidents and works alongside a statewide Auto Theft Task Force. But this has to be a team effort. We are asking for all residents to make the conscious effort to lock their vehicles and bring your keys inside your homes. Be vigilant about this. The safety of others is at stake!
Please continue to be safe and healthy. And as always, please continue to report any suspicious activity to the Upper Saddle River Police Department.
🤦♂️SMH. "It is also relevant to mention that EVERY vehicle that was stolen was both unlocked and contained a key fob at the time of the theft."
So many cars are stolen because people leave the keys in the car.
PHOTO CAPTION: Two O&R damage prevention technicians team up to locate and mark out underground O&R gas and electric facilities at a home in Nanuet. In the foreground James Misczuk uses a radio detection receiver to Iocate O&R underground gas facilities while J.D. Gallo follows to mark the locations with paint and flags. This procedure warns excavators to avoid digging near the facilities.
Outdoor Improvement Project Safety Means Call 8-1-1 Before You Dig;
One Call: It’s Easy, Simple, Fast, Free --- And It’s the Law
PEARL RIVER, NY Oct. 7, 2020 --- The most important piece of power equipment this fall for everyone - from construction contractors to municipal excavators and landscapers to homeowners - isn’t a backhoe, auger, bulldozer or grader.
The most important power tool this fall is the telephone and the easy-to-remember, toll-free, one-stop number 811. That’s the nationwide One-Call Notification System’s phone number --- 811 --- the one number you Call Before You Dig.
By calling 8-1-1 before you dig, you’ll make sure utility representatives can identify for you the facilities they own and operate. That way, your digging does not strike any underground natural gas lines, electric cables, phone lines or water and sewer pipes or other utility infrastructures.
Anyone who damages underground facilities because they did not follow the 8-1-1 regulations and calls at least 2 to 10 working days before starting work are subject to hefty fines and repair costs. And, the risk of a dangerous, even fatal, accident is all-too real if you hit an underground electric or natural gas line.
The “Call 8-1-1 Before You Dig” program notifies O&R of the proposed work site so its qualified technician can locate, mark and identify utility-owned equipment with stakes, flags or paint to clearly mark areas to avoid. It’s easy, simple, fast, free --- and it’s the law.
If you see an active excavation site or digging project, but you don’t see flags or painted markings, please call O&R at 1-877-434-4100 and report the location.
If you smell gas, immediately leave the area and call 911, O&R’s Gas Emergency Hotline at 1-800-533-LEAK (1-800-533-5325), or your local gas utility. You can report gas leaks anonymously.
For more details about working safely around O&R’s underground and overhead equipment, see our Web site at www.oru.com/811 For more information about the 811 One-Call Notification System, visit the www.call811.com website.
Here is a little something to get started for Sophia!!! Little Sophia is fighting cancer and loves to collect first responder patches.

October is Crime Prevention Month. Please see the below tips on Neighborhood Safety.
Unfortunately no neighborhood is completely immune to crime. However, there are steps you can take to help keep your family and your neighborhood safe.
- Know where your children are. Have your children tell you or ask permission before leaving the house and give them a time to check in or be home. When possible, have them leave a phone number of where they will be.
- Help children learn important phone numbers. Have your children practice reciting their home phone number and address, and your work and cell phone numbers. If they have trouble memorizing these, write them down on a card and have them carry it at all times. Tell your children where you will be and the best way to reach you.
- Set limits on where your children can go in your neighborhood. Do you want them crossing busy roads? Playing in alleys or abandoned buildings? Are there certain homes in your neighborhood that you don’t want your children to go to?
- Get to know your children’s friends. Meet their parents before letting your children to go to their home and keep a list of their phone numbers. If you can’t meet their parents, call and talk to them. Ask what your children might do at their house and if they will be supervised.
- Choose a safe house in your neighborhood. Pick a neighbor’s house where your children can go if they need help. Point out other places they can go for help, like stores, libraries, and police stations.
- Teach children to settle arguments with words, not fists. Role-play talking out problems, walking away from fist fights, and what to do when confronted with bullies. Remind them that taunting and teasing can hurt friends and make enemies.
- Work together with your neighbors. Watch out for suspicious and unusual behavior in your neighborhood. Get to know your neighbors and their children so you can look out for one another.

Here are some bear safety facts for the NJ Division of Wildlife website.
www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/bearfacts_safetytips.htm
Black bears by nature tend to be wary of people. However, if you encounter a black bear in your neighborhood or outdoors while hiking or camping, follow these common-sense safety tips.
Do not feed bears!
Never feed or approach a bear!
Remain calm if you encounter a bear.
Make the bear aware of your presence by speaking in an assertive voice, singing, clapping your hands, or making other noises.
Make sure the bear has an escape route.
If a bear enters your home, provide it with an escape route by propping all doors open.
I hope he (or she) bags one of the deer that run wild around here!
NJ 211 and Cybercrime Support Network
Launch New Jersey’s First Cybercrime Hotline
New Jersey, 25 Aug 2020 -- NJ 211 and the Cybercrime Support Network (CSN) announce the
launch of New Jersey's first cybercrime support and recovery hotline. The new system, the
second statewide cybercrime hotline in the U.S, allows New Jersey residents to dial 2-1-1 to
report and find resources to recover from identity theft, financial fraud, cyberstalking,
cyberbullying and other cybercrimes.
NJ 211 is the statewide information and referral center connecting those in need to many
different resources. “NJ 211 is a proud partner in this initiative,” remarked Melissa Acree,
executive director of the organization. “We’ve been answering the call for help with health and
human service needs since 2005. Both our staff and our infrastructure are perfectly poised to
quickly connect New Jerseyans who have been victimized by cybercriminals to the existing
resources that can help.”
Joe Geleta, Director of the Office of Emergency Management for the NJ Department of Human
Services, couldn’t agree more. “This is another great example of how NJ 211 goes above and
beyond on behalf of the citizens of this state. The NJ 211 team, through the cybercrime hotline,
is sure to provide help and guidance to those impacted by identity theft or other types of
cybercrimes,” he said.
Upon calling the hotline, victims will be connected with trained call specialists who can file a
report on their behalf and provide programs and services that can help with legal, financial and
emotional support. NJ 211 will be working closely with NJCCIC, NJ Cybersecurity &
Communications Integration Cell, who has been providing online cybercrime services in the
Garden State. “Our hotline will complement the services of NJCCIC by offering live assistance
and resources to support victims of cybercrime,” Acree explained.
Cybercriminals can strike from any part of the globe, posing a challenge to law enforcement in
providing aid after a cyber incident. This program will complement and work in collaboration
with law enforcement to improve service together.
The need to address cybercrime is great. In 2019 alone, 9,067 New Jersey residents were
affected by cybercrime totaling over $100 million in losses due to cyber-related incidents,
according to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). Experts estimate that these figures
represent only a small fraction of the losses that occur.
"We are excited to provide New Jersey residents with this much needed service," said Kristin
Judge, founder and CEO of CSN. "Together with our partners, we will help thousands of New
Jersey residents report and recover from cybercrime."
About Cybercrime Support Network
Cybercrime Support Network (CSN) is a public-private, nonprofit collaboration created to be the voice of
cybercrime victims. With the strong support of our sponsors, Craig Newmark Philanthropies - AT&T - Comcast -
Google - KnowBe4 - Microsoft - Trend Micro , CSN can continue to support individuals and small businesses through
FraudSupport.org , a resource database for those affected by cybercrime and online fraud, and ScamSpotter.org , a
website to help identify scams and stop fraudsters.

About NJ 211
The 2-1-1 system in New Jersey began when the NJ Board of Public Utilities designated the 3 digit dialing code as a
direct line for information and referral services for New Jerseyans in need. NJ 211 opened its doors in 2005 and has
been answering calls for help ever since. As familiarity with the organization’s services grows, so too do the
number of successful connections to help. In 2019, NJ 211 responded to over 670,000 requests for assistance that
came in by phone, text, chat and online searches. The organization is a subsidiary of United Ways of NJ; serves as
the state’s Homeless Hotline and New Jersey’s Home Energy Assistance Hotline; and is a key partner in the state’s
emergency preparedness, response and recovery operations. Additionally NJ 211 augments multiple state, county
and municipal initiatives. Services are free, confidential, multilingual and available 24/7/365. www.nj211.org

User Beware: Your Smartphone Is Tracking Your Every Move
From services to apps, users of smartphones are unwittingly consenting to being tracked in real-time by a multitude of companies for the purposes of providing “requested features, integrations, user experience improvements,” and many other reasons. What is not known by many users is that detailed information on their precise location and activity is being beaconed out by their phone and collected, shared, and sold to numerous organizations that aggregate these data sources with others to build a user profile that would make spy agencies and repressive governments green with envy.
The necessity and utility of smartphones is unarguable in today’s society. This article is not intended to suggest that individuals discard them. Instead, its purpose is to provide some insight into the unintended privacy and security implications of using smartphones. In addition, the recommendations detailing steps to limit what personal information is shared are not meant to be comprehensive; they only provide some level of awareness and control. Unfortunately, you can implement all of the suggested security and privacy controls listed below and still be tracked.
While this article is focused on smartphone data trails, all sorts of other devices, such as your vehicle’s entertainment system, your fitness tracking device, smartwatch, and just about any other device that emanates a network signal – including cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and near-field communications (NFC) – can be used to track your location and other identifying information. In the case of a smartphone, all of these network signals could be compiled to essentially publish a diary of your daily activities for the world to read.
Disabling location services, managing your mobile apps, limiting ad tracking, and enabling privacy settings in your device’s browser will help mitigate the risks of being tracked or having personal information exposed, but they will not eliminate these risks. Following these recommendations may also result in diminishing the utility and functionality you expect from your smartphone. While this article has focused on many of the abuses of location tracking, there are valid reasons for organizations to collect and track users’ locations.
Monetizing user information through advertisements is a successful business model that has worked for companies like Google, Facebook, and many others in the internet technologies industry, but with it comes the potential for privacy abuses. With the plethora of user information collected through mobile devices, nations that do not respect user privacy, terrorist groups, and others with nefarious intentions may develop apps that seemingly provide functionality, recreation, or other user value, but in reality, act as a front for gathering intelligence to further their illicit activities. While you may not pay for a mobile service or application, it will often cost you in the form of your personal user data.

TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy today advised individuals traveling to New Jersey from states or territories with significant community spread of COVID-19 to quarantine for a 14-day period from the time of last contact within the identified state or territory. The updated advisory includes five additional states — Arizona, Minnesota, Nevada, Rhode Island, and Wyoming — bringing the total to 35 states and territories. The travel advisory applies to any person arriving from a state or territory with a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents or a state with a 10 percent or higher positivity rate over a 7-day rolling average.
As of Tuesday, September 22, there are currently 35 states and territories that meet the criteria stated above: Alabama; Alaska; Arkansas; Arizona; Delaware; Florida; Georgia; Guam; Iowa; Idaho; Indiana; Illinois; Kansas; Kentucky; Louisiana; Minnesota; Missouri; Mississippi; Montana; North Carolina; North Dakota; Nebraska; Nevada; Oklahoma; Puerto Rico; Rhode Island; South Carolina; South Dakota; Tennessee; Texas; Utah; Virginia; Wisconsin; West Virginia; and Wyoming.
“To maintain our steady progress on the road back, we must continue to be vigilant and practice personal responsibility to reduce the potential for outbreaks,” said Governor Murphy. “It remains critically important for anyone arriving to New Jersey from these 35 states and territories to get tested for COVID-19 and self-quarantine for 14 days.”
Travelers and those residents who are returning from impacted states should self-quarantine at their home, hotel, or other temporary lodging. Individuals should leave the place of self-quarantine only to seek medical care/treatment or to obtain food and other essential items.
It is expected that individuals will follow the public health advisory to self-quarantine. The list of states will be updated on a rolling basis and is accessible here.

Look up and be alert when walking, especially when crossing the street. Make eye contact with drivers to be sure that they see you. #pedestriansafety #JerseyDrives
