Motorists can expect enhanced enforcement in Cinnaminson and Delran through June 2.
From May 20 through June 2, you'll want to make sure you're buckled up if you're driving through Cinnaminson or Delran. That's good advice every day of the year, but it's especially pertinent for the next two weeks, as police in both townships up their enforcement of seat belt laws during the statewide Click It or Ticket campaigns. Want a refresher on the finer points of New Jersey seatbelt laws? According to a statement from the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety, the front seatbelt usage rate in New Jersey declined for the first time in 15 years, to 88 percent. The statewide Click It or Ticket campaigns are aimed at moving that number to more than 90 percent this year. During the 2012 “Click it or Ticket” campaign, 425 police…

Cinnaminson Police Department will run its second middle school police academy this summer.
Last year's first-ever youth police academy was such a success for the Cinnaminson Police Department, they're doing it again this year. Organized and led by Officer Michael Czarzasty, the weeklong academy is geared toward middle school students who will learn public safety, defensive tactics, firearms and much more. One week might not seem like a lot of time for such young children to learn the ropes of policing, but Czarzasty said the kids cover a lot of ground. "We cram a lot of activities into a week," he said. "However, the overall goal is to build their confidence, develop a good relationship with the police department, and to have fun while being educated about law enforcement." There are 25 spots in the class for Cinnaminson …

Cinnaminson School District officials are working on a plan to add more security cameras inside and outside all four school buildings.
Cinnaminson School District officials envision a school security system which would allow police officers—as well as school staff—to patch into live security camera feeds at all of its buildings. District staff, including business administrator Tom Egan, as well as Cinnaminson Police Director Mickey King, met with a representative from a Pennsylvania-based security company last week to discuss the district's plans to install more security cameras inside and outside its buildings. Egan said the company will soon do a walk-through of each of the district's four buildings and provide proposals, breaking down the costs for exterior and interior installation. In addition to the cameras, the buildings will also be outfitted with the hardware …

The board of education has plans to make Cinnaminson's school buildings safer next year. Is it enough?
The Cinnaminson Board of Education is dedicated to improving school safety and security before the start of the next school year, according to Superintendent Salvatore Illuzzi. Included in the $44.3 million budget the board approved earlier this week is a $200,000 line item for capital improvements—specifically adding more cameras to all four schools, as well as the technology to support them. "What the board is looking at is adding more cameras to our schools that would look at the periphery, as well as inside the buildings," said Illuzzi. Some schools are already equipped with cameras, and some are not. But Illuzzi declined to go into specifics, for security reasons. He said the district is meeting next week with the company that set …
