Rockland Electric Marks National 811 Day; Urges You to Call 8-1-1 Before You Dig;
It Protects the Public, Diggers and Utilities From Damage. And, It’s the Law
PEARL RIVER, NY August 11, 2022 --- Rockland Electric Company, and the nation’s other utilities who operate facilities and equipment underground, mark Thursday, 8/11 as National 811 Day to remind all professional excavators and Do It Yourselfers (DIY) to call 811 to place an underground utility location request for their digging projects in New Jersey.
Calling 811 automatically connects diggers to New Jersey One Call, which provides a link between diggers and the underground utility operators. Placing a location request by calling 811 is the first step in a safe digging project.
Location requests should be placed at least three full business days (excluding weekends and holidays), but not more than 10 days, before beginning an excavation project.
Rockland Electric Company is an electric utility that serves 73,000 customers in parts of Bergen, Passaic and Sussex County in New Jersey. Rockland Electric is a wholly owned subsidiary of Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R), which in turn is owned by Consolidated Edison, Inc.
Here’s how the underground location request system works:
After a location request is placed, the New Jersey One Call organization processes and transmits the information to the local underground utility operators who are responsible for marking out the approximate location of any underground public utilities in the dig area.
“Whether you are a homeowner doing a backyard digging project for the first time, or a professional excavator with years of experience, placing a location request by calling 811 at least three days before beginning your digging project in New Jersey is essential,” said Rockland Electric Company Field Operations Planner Dan Fitzpatrick.
He added, “Digging without placing a location request dramatically increases your risk of causing damage to underground utilities.”
Excavators who damage underground facilities because they did not follow the state regulations and damage utility equipment are subject to hefty fines and repair costs.
If you smell gas, immediately leave the area and call 911, or your local gas utility. You can report gas leaks anonymously.

HERE WE GO AGAIN. HUMID. TEMPS BREAK 90. CHILL WITH O&R’S COOL TIPS
PEARL RIVER, NY July 21, 2022 5:45 a.m. --- Today’s latest round of steamy humidity and broiling temperatures looks like it could be one of the hottest day of the week so far. That calls for some help to maintain our collective cool. O&R offers these Cool Tips to help us all stay comfortable while saving on energy costs.
• Turn down or turn off air conditioning in your home while you are away or at work to help lower your energy bill.
• Set your air conditioner to the highest temperature your comfort and health will allow to help you save cooling money.
• Close all doors and windows in your home while the air conditioning is running to make things cooler at a lower price.
• Cook, bake or perform other household activities that produce heat and humidity during the cooler times of the day and night.
• Pull your curtains and shades closed to help block out the sun and the heat of the day.
• Take advantage of your smart meter by viewing your energy usage and customized energy savings tips located in your online account at www.oru.com/myaccount

• O&R mobile app from your iPhone, iPad or Android device --- download via Apple Store or Google Play.
• Text messaging by texting “OUT” to 69678 (myORU) or

The heat, humidity and increased demand for electricity to power air conditioners can pose challenges to the electric delivery system, in some instances, overheating electrical equipment and resulting in scattered power outages. O&R crews will be ready to respond to any, and all, issues that arise to make repairs and restore service.
Scattered thunderstorms are possible late this afternoon and into the evening today and those could result in downed wires and electric service interruptions. The company urges members of the public to stay away from any wires that are downed during storms. Call your local police department at 911 or O&R at 1-877-434-4100 to report downed wires.

The Upper Saddle River Police Department would like you to be aware of a dark colored pickup truck with red lettering and Florida license plates possibly going through mailboxes. Please keep a lookout and report any suspicious activity to the Upper Saddle River Police Department.
A reminder from the Upper Saddle River Police Department to Hide Your Things, Lock Your Vehicle, and Take Your Keys!
The New Move Over Law in New Jersey
The 2021 New Jersey Safe Passing Law is designed to remind motorists that they must share the roads with those who are not in vehicles, whether they are bicyclists, pedestrians forced to walk down a road with no sidewalks, or those with mobility challenges who are on motorized scooters.
Drivers who violate the law face fines and those who violate the law AND cause injury may be subject to larger fines and points on their license. Of course, they may also face additional liabilities for the personal injury caused to others.
What Is the Fine for Not Moving Over in New Jersey?
If a New Jersey motorist does not abide by the law, they face a fine of $100. But in this case, no points will be added to their license. However, more serious infractions involving injury carry a $500 fine as well as 2 points on their motor vehicle license.
If a driver is a repeat offender, the penalties are more severe. And accumulating points on a license may result in additional penalties, including surcharges and license suspension.
Why is the Move Over Law So Important?
The law is designed to protect vulnerable people using the roadways from distracted drivers.
According to New Jersey State Police Fatal Accident Statistics, bicyclist deaths on roadways continue to increase each year from 11 in 2019 to 22 in 2021. In 2019 there were 166 pedestrians killed on roadways, but in 2021 that number went up to 205.
So far this year, according to State Police statistics, cyclists and pedestrians account for 62 of the 216 traffic fatalities in the state. Distracted drivers have continued to be a problem.
Since 2009, over 28,000 citations have been issued for violations of New Jersey’s Move Over Law. The state has started an aggressive awareness campaign to ensure drivers understand their responsibilities when it comes to emergency vehicles in particular.
The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety recently found that despite efforts to save lives, many drivers still don’t understand why it’s important to comply with the law. Some are not aware of the high risk motor vehicles can pose to roadside workers, specifically. AAA found that on average, a first responder is killed every other week in the United States while working at the roadside.
The AAA’s national survey of drivers also showed among drivers who do not comply with Move Over laws, 42% did not think that it was dangerous at all to roadside workers. Even more surprising, Among those who said they were aware of the law, 15% said they still did not understand it.
On Friday, July 1st at approximately 10 AM, a twenty-two year old male from Columbia, Maryland, and a 25 year-old male from Newburgh, New York, were stopped on Weiss Road. Further investigation revealed the males possessed stolen mail from nearby Bergen County towns. It is believed they were traveling the streets of Upper Saddle River to commit further acts of mail theft. Both suspects were arrested and charged with Possession of Stolen Property and Conspiracy to Commit Theft. Both were released on their own recognizance.
Mail theft continues to frequently occur throughout Bergen County. The perpetrators most often target outgoing mail containing handwritten checks. The stolen checks are then altered and deposited into fraudulently purchased or opened checking accounts. Incoming mail containing credit cards and identifying documents are also targets. Please continue to report any suspicious activity to the Upper Saddle River Police Department.
An important reminder: The suspects in these mail theft cases along with the continued incidents of vehicle theft and vehicle burglary, often have a history of violence and/or weapon possession. Please do not confront these individuals.
I just can’t understand for the life of me how they can release these criminals! It just keeps on happening!
One guy from MD and one from Newburg, NY. Immediately released with no bail… anybody think they are going to show up for court dates?
Good work brothers.
The Upper Saddle River Police Dept. would like to wish everyone a Happy Fourth of July.
Thank you
Happy 4th
Have a Plan Whether You're Driving, Riding or Hosting
If you’re celebrating and drinking this holiday season, always remember to plan ahead with a sober driver to take you home. If you’re the designated driver, it’s important to take the role seriously and don’t consume alcohol. Here are some more safety tips:
Never drink and drive.
Don’t let someone get behind the wheel if that person has been drinking.
If you’re hosting a gathering, make sure everyone has a sober ride home.
Always wear your seat belt. It’s your best defense against impaired drivers.
Call 911 if you see a drunk driver.
July is National Vehicle Theft Prevention Month
Motor vehicles are the primary mode of transportation for most of us, and often, an indispensable part of our lives. But what would happen if yours suddenly disappeared? Vehicle theft is a very expensive crime, with the cost of stolen vehicles pegged at more than $7 billion.
804,400 motor vehicles were stolen in 2020.
Only 56% of all stolen motor vehicles were recovered.
Of all motor vehicles stolen, 74% were passenger vehicles.
Take action! Here are ways you can help prevent motor vehicle theft.
• Park in well-lit areas.
• Close and lock all windows and doors when you park.
• Hide valuables out of sight, such as in the glove box or trunk.
• Do not leave your keys in your vehicle.
• Do not leave the area while your vehicle is running.

UPPER SADDLE RIVER CRIME ALERT
Today, 6/18/2022, between the hours of 2 A.M. and 3 A.M. the town of Upper Saddle River had multiple attempted motor vehicle thefts/burglaries.
Two unlocked vehicles were entered, and one unlocked vehicle that had the key fob inside of it was successfully stolen. Shortly after being taken the stolen vehicle became disabled, was abandoned by the suspects, and has been located/recovered.
Our community has been victimized by car thieves and car burglars for years. As of late these thefts are becoming more prolific and the criminals more brazen. We do not want to equate the thefts to a business, but like in a business, if there is no supply people will go elsewhere for the product. We can all do our part in bringing the supply down by locking our cars and by bringing the key fobs into our houses. The Upper Saddle River police department again will be participating in the 9 P.M. Routine reminders to remove valuables from your vehicles, lock your vehicle doors, lock the doors to your residences, turn on exterior lights and activate all alarms and security systems.
Please realize that these vehicles that are stolen are being utilized in violent crimes throughout our state and surrounding states. We live in one of the safest communities. Let’s all work together to keep it that way.
THANK YOU!
If insurance companies didn't cover the cars being stolen if the key fobs were left inside, I can guarantee you people will make sure that they don't leave them in there and that their doors are locked.
What’s so darn hard taking the key out of the car and locking it?
USRPD, thank you for your efforts in warning our fellow neighbors. I’m hoping people will listen.
The thefts are indeed a business. With supply chain issues creating the demand and desirable unlocked cars are your supply. Most are not “joyriders” but pros sending much of the product (cars) for parts or sending them intact overseas.
USRPD - the best!

“Verification by the team that the Upper Saddle River Police Department meets the Commission’s “best practice” standards is part of a voluntary process to achieve accreditation, a highly prized recognition of law enforcement professional excellence”, Chief Patrick Rotella said.
As part of this final on-site assessment, employees and members of the general public are invited to provide comments to the assessment team. They may do so by telephone or email. The public may call 201-956-2774 on Tuesday, June 21, 2022 between the hours of 9:00 A.M. until 11:00 A.M. Email comments can be sent to wlynch@usrpd.net

The Upper Saddle River Police Department must comply with NJSACOP LEAP standards in order to achieve accredited status.Chief Patrick Rotella indicated, “Accreditation results in greater accountability within the agency, reduced risk and liability exposure, stronger defense against civil lawsuits, increased community advocacy, and more confidence in the agency’s ability to operate efficiently and respond to community needs.”
The Accreditation Program Director for the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police is Mr. Harry J Delgado, Ed.S. “The assessment team is composed of law enforcement practitioners from similar New Jersey law enforcement agencies. The assessors will review written materials, interview agency members, and visit offices and other places where compliance with the standards can be observed. Once the Commission’s assessors complete their review of the agency, they will report to the full Commission, which will then decide if the agency is to be granted accredited status”, Harry J Delgado stated.
Accreditation is valid for a three-year period during which time the agency must submit annual reports attesting to their continued compliance with those standards under which it was initially accredited.

Please see a recent Nightline article related to the rise in car thefts across the United States. These thefts are driving up violent crime in communities across America. The easiest way to not become a victim of this type of theft is to remove your key fob from your vehicle, lock your car doors, close your garage doors and do not leave your vehicle running unattended.
Video Car theft skyrocketing across the country

Across the country, authorities are seeing double-digit spikes in stolen cars. Law enforcement says the rise in car thefts could be a driver of violent crimes.It boggles the mind that folks don't do this automatically. It's pure common sense...especially with the recent incidents in USR.

STORM WATCH
O&R READIES EMERGENCY RESPONSE CREWS AS T-STORMS APPROACH FRIDAY
PEARL RIVER, NY, May 26, 2022 Noon --- O&R is preparing its company-wide emergency response group to repair damage and restore electric service interruptions that could result from thunderstorms --- some possibly severe --- that are expected to strike the area from early evening Friday overnight into the pre-dawn hours of early Saturday morning.
O&R’s company and contractor overhead line crews and its tree removal experts are planning to upgrade from routine work to storm alert at 6 p.m. Friday evening. Customer service operations and the wide array of O&R teams that support those functions also will shift into storm duty at that time.
O&R Warns
For safety’s sake, O&R warns the public not to touch or approach any downed wire. Assume all downed wires are energized and dangerous. Call O&R immediately toll-free 1-877-434-4100. Depending on the situation, you also should consider calling your local police to assume traffic control duties at the scene until an O&R crew arrives.
Weather Forecast
On Friday, a cold front will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms from about 6 p.m. to 4 a.m. Saturday morning. Thunderstorms storms may become severe in isolated areas during this time period. Severe thunderstorms could contain wind gusts higher than 57 mph, hail larger than one inch in diameter or tornadoes.

Restoring Service
Once the weather clears enough to safely assess damage and begin electric service restoration, crews will give priority to clearing downed wires blocking roads and making repairs to critical and emergency facilities (police and fire stations, and hospitals, for example) and to those locations where the repair will provide power to the largest number of customers quickly. Then, crews will restore smaller outages and individual customers’ outages.
How Customers can Report an Outage
If customers experience a power outage, they shouldn’t assume that O&R automatically knows about it. They can report it and check to see when their lights will be back on through:
• At www.oru.com/ReportOutage from any computer or web-based mobile device.
• O&R’s mobile app from your iPhone, iPad or Android device --- download via Apple Store or Google Play.
• Text messaging by texting “OUT” to 69678 (myORU) or
• A phone call to 1-877-434-4100.
Important Safety Tips
• For safety’s sake, don’t touch or approach any downed wire. Assume it is energized and dangerous. Call O&R immediately toll-free 1-877-434-4100. Depending on the situation, you may also want to call your local police to divert traffic until an O&R crew arrives.
• Maintain a distance of at least 50 feet from downed wires and anything they are in contact with including puddles of water and fences. Supervise your children so that they are not in the vicinity and keep pets on a leash or otherwise secure.
• If a fallen wire is draped over a car, do not approach the car and make rescue attempts. Remain a safe distance away and try to keep the occupant of the vehicle calm. If possible, emergency personnel should handle the situation.
• Pole-top transformers --- those small grey-colored metal drums attached to the wires at the tops of most utility poles --- also should be avoided when they have been knocked to the ground.
• Portable generators pose a serious hazard if used improperly. They should be used and installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A wrong connection could feed electricity back through the lines and endanger our repair crews. Never plug a generator into a wall unit, use it indoors or set it up outdoors near open home windows or air-handling vents.
• Have emergency equipment within reach --- portable radio, flashlights, spare batteries, first aid kit, cell phone and important medications. Keep O&R’s toll-free number 1-877-434-4100 near the phone to report power outages.
• Remember: if the base station of your cordless phone plugs into the wall, your phone will be unusable during a power outage.
