Cinnaminson School Superintendent Salvatore Illuzzi says the school district is offering a 'substantial cash reward' for information leading to an arrest.
UPDATE: Cinnaminson Public Safety Director Mickey King said police have a number of leads following Tuesday's second bomb scare at the high school, but could not provide specific details of the investigation, since it's ongoing. He said the operations carried out at the school both Monday and Tuesday, and the communication between the police department and the district, have gone smoothly. "The system works very well," he told the school board during its Tuesday night meeting. High school principal Darlene Llewellyn said students were receptive during an assembly held Tuesday afternoon following the second bomb scare. "Their reaction was great. You could've heard a pin drop in the entire auditorium," she said. "That's always a sign of a …

Does Cinnaminson need a school resource officer again? The school board is considering a plan, and it might not cost taxpayers.
Members of the Cinnaminson Board of Education are considering a proposal that would put a police officer back in the school system, while having—most likely—no immediate impact on the tax rate. It's been three years since the district had a dedicated school resource officer (SRO), a program that was ended due to a lack of funding from the township. Cinnaminson Police Director Mickey King pitched a plan to the board Tuesday night to reinstall an SRO for the 2013-14 school year, who would float between the district's four schools. The program would be a further extension of the department's focus on community policing, King explained. "We're committed to the children in this community. We want to keep that positive influence with the police …

Also, an alleged attempt to avoid a DUI goes wrong in a hurry.
Each week, Patch combs through the more shocking, surprising and often absurd alleged criminal acts and police-related incidents that unfold around the region. Here’s what went on this week for “OMG PD.” If your key doesn't work, make sure you're at the right apartment: Mount Laurel Police said Ming F. Zheng was drunk and forgot to check the address when he tried kicking in his front door, which—surprise!—wasn't his front door. Speaking of door-related crimes: A resident at the Heights of Collingswood told police she heard some noises at her front door, then later realized her peephole had been stolen. No word on what the street value of a stolen peephole might be, though. That had to be a weird traffic report: Stuff falls off trucks onto …

Officer Frank Chiacchio, a 22-year police veteran, pulled the woman to safety from the Barton Court fire on Saturday.
The quiet heroics of a Cinnaminson police officer likely prevented a tragedy on Saturday. The Barton Court fire seemed like a pretty standard blaze. Crews responded quickly and got the fire under control. The heavy smoke did send a woman to the hospital with smoke inhalation. But it could have been so much worse, if not for Officer Frank Chiacchio. Chiacchio rushed into the smoke-filled house and pulled the woman to safety, Lt. Tim Young said. She was disoriented and froze inside rather than leaving the home herself. “It almost sounded like she was in shock. She had tried to open a door, which fed the fire, and opened another one, which fed the fire more,” Young said. “The house was apparently full of smoke.” Chiacchio saw the woman wasn’t…

Cinnaminson's public safety director said the department monitors themselves and reacts to trends.
The state’s uniform crime report is out—an analysis of crime data from police agencies throughout New Jersey. But whatever the numbers are for the township, Cinnaminson’s Public Safety Director Michael P. King doesn’t give it much credence. “We’re not waiting for the uniform crime report to come out,” King said. “We react as things are fresh. We monitor crime trends and react to them.” After all, the numbers are a bit old. The report comes out in mid-December, but the numbers are for the full previous year. The Dec. 14, 2012 report is for 2011. But they still mean the same thing. And for Cinnaminson, nothing much stands out aside from the number of burglaries. In 2010, the number of burglaries reported in Cinnaminson is 53. In 2011, the …
