Wall Township Police Knock and Rap Program (04-01-2008)
The Wall Township Police Department’s Community Support Unit would like to announce the implementation of a new neighborhood traffic management program
called "Knock & Rap."  The program works in conjunction with the Select Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) to address traffic safety problems on residential streets within our neighborhoods and to assist with traffic calming measures to effectively maintain a safe traffic flow within the neighborhood. 

The "Knock & Rap" program relies on the neighborhood residents to identify habitual traffic violators, obtain the vehicle's license plate number and report the violation to the police department.  Residents' anonymity is maintained.  The registered owner of the vehicle will be mailed a letter indicating the infraction and will be requested to call the Community Support Unit.

The police department strongly suggests that  individual safety not be  compromised at any time while obtaining or attempting to obtain vehicle license plate information.

When neighborhood streets have traffic calming measures in place vehicular speeds may be reduced and traffic safety will  improve.  The "Knock &Rap" program allows the police department to work in conjunction with neighborhood citizens to develop viable short term and long term solutions for their neighborhoods.

Citizens are encouraged to call the Wall Township Police Department Community Support Unit at #732-449-8774 extension #1105 or visit our website www.wallpolice.org  for further details.

National Weather Service To Introduce Changes To Severe Warning System (09-19-2007)
The National Weather Service is changing the way it issues severe weather warnings with a new system that switches from alerts based on county lines to notices aimed at specific communities. The new system uses radar and computer modeling programs to predict the moment a storm will hit a community or even certain crossroads. Experts say the new alerts, known as storm-based warnings, could reduce a warning area from thousands of square miles to a few hundred square miles. The new system will go into effect nationally on 1 October. The system will initially be limited to warnings for tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, floods and marine hazards and later it will be expanded to include other threats like extreme heat.
