Montgomery Township : Public Safety

Police, Fire, Court & EMS - See Links to Left
The safety of our public comes first in Montgomery Township. Several departments and volunteer organizations work very hard to safeguard our public safety.

Please find links at left to website sections for our Police Department, Fire Officials and Fire Companies, the Municipal Court, and the website of the Montgomery Emergency Medical Services (which will open in a separate window).

Montgomery's Emergency Outreach Program
A list of residents who may need special assistance in an emergency due to age or infirmity is kept on confidential file. Signing up for this program means a senior or person with a disability will receive a call from a township employee during a flood, blizzard, power outage or other potential emergency to check on their well-being and essentials, such as heat and water. If you or a loved one would like to be included on the emergency outreach program list, click here to download the Emergency Outreach Form.

The form can be dropped off, mailed or emailed back to Montgomery Township Health Officer Stephanie Carey (scarey@twp.montgomery.nj.us). There is also a "Notice of Privacy Practices of Montgomery Township" statement which must be read first. Both forms can be found under the Forms page of this website. The forms may also be obtained at the Health Department or at the Senior Center of the Otto Kaufman Community Center.

Important Reminder to Registrants: Help us to help you by keeping your info up-to-date. Please file a new form whenever there is a change of address, phone, etc.

Those who should register include seniors living alone, those relying on home-based dialysis or supplemental oxygen, or those with disabilities or infirmities, for whom isolation or being without power would pose real, even life threatening, risks.

Perhaps you can think of a neighbor or friend who could benefit from this program? Please help spread the word.

Project Lifesaver
There is also a separate program called Project Lifesaver which can quickly help find lost persons with certain disabilities such as Alzheimer's disease or autism, BUT these residents must be registered ahead of time in the program. Local police assist with these searches. The program is run by the Somerset County Sheriff's Office and the County Office on Aging. Click here for more information.
