Middletown Announces “Safe Streets NJ” and Demands Lawmakers Amend Failed Bail Reform Policies

Safe Streets NJ Press Conference

Mayor Tony Perry, local, county & state elected officials, and MTPD officers joined forces to announce the “Safe Streets NJ” public campaign to address statewide auto thefts.

Mayor Tony Perry and the Middletown Township Committee, along with Monmouth County Commissioner Director Tom Arnone, Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden, and a bipartisan group of local mayors held a press conference on Tuesday to announce “Safe Streets NJ”, a public campaign created for New Jersey residents to allow their voices to be heard about the auto theft wave that has struck communities across the state. 

Concerned citizens can sign a petition demanding state legislators revise current bail reform policies and institute stricter legal consequences. Additionally, Mayor Perry announced that Middletown Township will be filing a complaint against the State of New Jersey with the Council on Local Mandates to pay for the extra patrols in targeted areas to help keep residents safe.
