Cinnaminson's public safety director calls Global Connect a "much better" system.
Last year, a hurricane hit Cinnaminson, a string of burglaries affected township homes and accidents shut down roads. But since the township’s emergency notification phone system had been down for quite some time, residents didn’t receive the voice messages they were so used to.
