With an arrest made of the suspect in the arson cases occurring in Rutherford and Paramus, the Bergenfield Police Department is still requesting that all residents remain vigilant and report ANY activity they deem suspicious in and around the Borough's Houses of Worship, in particular to our area Synagogues. The BPD will continue stepped-up patrols of our community's houses of worship with emphasis on our local Synagogues based on the recent events. With a community of citizens that maintain a watchful eye, along with a police force that will protect and serve our public and be prepared to respond without delay to any call made regarding any suspicious activity, Bergenfield will remain a safe place to live, work and play. Don't let crime win, be a part of the watchful eye in your neighborhood.
