Police  Department

IMPORTANT Safety Message: 

The Palmyra Police Department has been getting complaints of drivers not stopping for the Crossing Guards. 

Please be mindful while in the school zones that the crossing guards are in harms way as well as our children. Slow down in the school zones and please respect the guards while they cross our children. Although crossing guards usually do not have arrest powers, the STOP paddle they wield is an official sign under state law (N.J.S.A. 39:1-1). Drivers who fail to obey the STOP paddle can be cited and fined for failure to obey signs, signals or directions (N.J.S.A. 39:4-215). THANK YOU.
