How Prepared Are You For An Emergency Situation? Join local police departments and learn how to better prepare yourself and your family for emergencies.
Natural disasters such as Super Storm Sandy show us how prepared we really are for emergencies. A natural disaster is just one example of an emergency situation, which is why the Verona, Cedar Grove, Essex Fells and North Caldwell police departments are hosting the Community College Citizen Preparedness Program (3CP2).

John Herbert realized a lifelong dream Monday when he was sworn-in as a probationary officer with the North Caldwell Police Department.
