The Voorhees Police Department would like to share some tips to help you enhance your vehicle's security and protect against theft. Implementing these suggestions can significantly reduce your risk and keep your property safe.*Adopt the 9:00 PM Routine: Make it a habit to lock your car doors and close all windows by 9:00 PM each night. This small step can significantly reduce the risk of theft.*Keep Valuables Out of Sight: Ensure that no valuables are left inside your vehicle, as this can deter potential thieves and keep your belongings safe.*Invest in a Steering Wheel Lock: Using a locking device mounted on your steering wheel can serve as an effective deterrent, making it much harder for intruders to drive away with your car.*Secure Your Keys Properly: Always remove your keys from the ignition when leaving your vehicle unattended, even if it’s running. Remember to keep your garage door opener out of the car to prevent intruders from easily accessing your home.*Protect Your Tires: Since car tires are often targeted, consider installing a wheel lock system to make it more challenging for anyone to remove your tires and rims.*Stay Vigilant: If you notice any suspicious activity, call 911 and call the non-emergency police line at 856-428-5400 to report a theft has already occurred. Your awareness can play a vital role in preventing crime in your area.By implementing these proactive measures, you can help contribute to a safer environment for yourself and your community. ...

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Distracted driving refers to any activity that takes your attention away from driving, such as texting or talking on the phone, eating and drinking, conversing with people in the car, adjusting the entertainment or navigation system, or fiddling with the stereo. Every year, countless lives are affected by car accidents linked to distracted driving, making it essential for drivers to stay focused on the road.To enhance safety while driving, it is important to plan your route and set your radio stations before you begin your trip. Avoid changing the radio stations while driving, as any distraction from the road increases the risk of an accident. Taking your eyes off the road to adjust the radio, change stations, or set the GPS can be dangerous. It is best to complete these tasks before or after your trip to maintain your focus on the road.REMINDER: The Voorhees Township Police Department is participating in the "Put the Phone Away or Pay" campaign, which runs from April 1 to April 30, 2025. This important nationwide initiative focuses on reducing distracted driving and promoting awareness of the significant risks and legal repercussions associated with texting while driving. ...
