EMERGENCY SERVICES: EDGEWATER POLICE DEPARTMENT - OFFICE OF THE CHIEF   Letter from the Chief January 2004 Dear Edgewater Residents, Welcome to the Edgewater Police Department website. We are pleased to present to the citizens of Edgewater some basic information and answers to frequently asked questions over the web. At this wintry time of year, one of the Edgewater Police Department’s primary safety concerns is motor vehicle and pedestrian safety. It’s a good idea to be extra cautious in icy conditions, and courteous to pedestrians and other drivers. As always, please look out for children at school crosswalks and near parks and playgrounds. Thank you for visiting our new web site. Please return soon, as information will be updated regularly. Sincerely, Chief Donald A. Martin Edgewater Police Department Chiefs Associations Chief Martin participates locally in the Bergen County Police Chiefs Association and attends the International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference annually. Both of these organizations exist to foster relationships among police officials and to advance standards and efficiency in police matters. Bergen County Police Chiefs Association >> International Association of Chiefs of Police >> Emergency Management Resources In case of a disaster, the Chief of Police is the official Emergency Management Coordinator for the Borough. During an emergency, the Chief is available to provide guidelines and coordinate with the County, State, Federal or neighboring states to provide leadership in an emergency. Among other things, he maintains the comprehensive Borough Emergency Management Plan. This plan is always current on changes in policies, personnel, equipment, contact lists and procedures that serve during emergency situations. Two other important resources for Edgewater during an emergency are the Bergen County Office of Emergency Management and the Bergen/Hudson County Red Cross. The Bergen County Office of Emergency Management website has information about weather emergencies, family preparedness, animal emergencies, and helpful links to county and state emergency management resources. At the Red Cross website, families can work on preparedness by signing up for a First Aid-CPR class, ordering helpful brochures, obtaining a Disaster Supplies Kit or developing a Disaster Plan. Volunteer and training opportunities, as well as youth services and blood donations are also handled at the Red Cross.
