  1. yes and they are way understaffed these days…..poor guys run from call to call, while all the important people worry about votes and taxes…..something bads a brewing……..

  2. Yup they are now reactive rather than proactive. Something has to give and we need more police officers. What isit going to take for the people of Lakewood to wake up.

  3. the residents on the RT 70 corridor and Massachusetts ave need to get more involved and get us more officers…..we never see any where we live, just coming and going to calls…..nuts

  4. Yid- Crime would not go down if citizens were armed. Are you aware of the countless accidental deaths that have been occurring lately?

  5. I agree 100%, what is it going to take for Lakewood Township to hire more police officers. There are numerous men and women who have passed the Civil Service Exam and are residents of Lakewood Township.

  6. I don’t think it’s the polices job to catch dogs is it? Doesn’t this town have an animal control? Maybe LCSW should worry about the dogs

  7. Need more officers and that would equal faster response time on calls. LPD is way understaffed compared to our surrounding towns with less crime and population.

  8. Why was neither the name nor the location of the motel reported? All area residents/visitors have an interested in knowing incident locations.
