The Wall Township Police Department has started its annual Back to School Safety Initiative. Over the next two weeks, the police department will be conducting high visibility traffic enforcement in school zones and in the areas of bus stops. This proactive approach is taken by the Wall Township Police Department to remind motorists that the first day of school is coming upon us and to drive carefully within school zones. In addition to traffic enforcement, mobile radar display units and mobile message boards will be deployed into our school zones. Once school begins, patrol officers will be present at commencement and dismissal times as well as daily security checks of the schools.
The police department conducted critical incident response and school safety training with Wall Public School staff members over the summer in preparation for this upcoming school year. In addition to this training, the A.L.I.C.E. model for response to active assailant on school grounds has been integrated into the overall critical incident response training for school staff members. Also, the Wall Township Police Department will be conducting tactical training with the school security officers and integrating the school security officer’s response into patrol officers’ response. These initiatives are part of the Wall Township Police Departments continued efforts to provide a safe environment for our students and faculty staff.
