Township announces a significant collaboration with the Morris County Sheriff’s Office

PARSIPPANY — The Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills announced a significant collaboration between the Township and the Morris County Sheriff’s Office.

Parsippany-Troy Hills Mayor James Barberio met with Morris County Undersheriff William Schievella, to discuss numerous opportunities in community outreach with the Sheriff’s Department.  One important initiative that has worked well in the past is contact with the Asian community to provide education and awareness programs about specific crimes and scams inherent to their population. They are planning to continue the program again this year and possibly to include other groups as well.

Another of the upcoming collaborative law enforcement community policing programs that has had a positive outcome is Operation Take Back.  Co-hosting with the DEA and the Morris County Sheriff, Parsippany will actively participate in setting up a location to collect unwanted medications.

The strategies set forth by the partnership between the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills and the Morris County Sheriff’s Office are meant to develop and implement recommendations and ideas that can help to establish public safety while building public trust.  Community policing emphasizes proactive problem solving and developing solutions to conditions pertaining to public safety.  Rather than simply responding to crimes once they have been committed, community policing concentrates on preventing crime and eliminating the fear that it creates.
