On World Autism Day, we would like to remind residents of the Blue Envelope Program, a proactive initiative intended to support drivers with autism and communication disorders. This program aims to enhance safety and facilitate positive interactions between law enforcement officers and individuals during traffic stops.Drivers will receive a special blue envelope to securely keep important documents, such as their driver’s license, vehicle registration, insurance details, and emergency contact information. Additionally, the envelope provides officers with valuable communication tips, helping to reduce the potential for misunderstandings or escalations. We invite community members to pick up envelopes and learn more about the program at the Voorhees Police Department, located at 1180 White Horse Road in Voorhees, NJ, 08043, from Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. If you have any questions or need further information about the program, please reach out to Lieutenant Ryan Brennan at rbrennan@vtpd.com. Your participation in this initiative promotes understanding and safety within our community. More information on the program can be found in our Linktree: linktr.ee/blueenvelopeprogram...

Kids between the ages of 10-15 will report to our Police Administration Building from July 13 - 17, 2026 for several hours a day. During their time with our agency, the children will participate in drill and ceremony (marching), physical fitness training by certified police academy fitness instructors, hands-on patrol tactics training through mock scenarios and car stops, and a demonstration from our K-9 Unit. During the week, the children will see demonstrations from various special units, including the crime scene unit.The capacity for the program is limited to 25 participants. Selection process includes checks with family, neighbors, and schools to ensure the candidates will be a positive addition to the learning environment for other students and will not have an issue with following directions in a para-military style academy experience. All uniform requirements must be followed. Failure to follow Junior Police Academy rules or the instructor's directions will result in the child being dismissed from the program. The Junior Police Academy strives to educate kids on what it is really like to go through a police academy. It is meant for youth who are considering a career in law enforcement. Children who have not already participated in the program will be given preference. The dates of the 2026 Junior Police Academy will be July 13 - 17, 2026.Please contact Sgt.
