Welcome!!

As Lindenwold's new Chief of Police, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to the community. I have been with the department for 20 years, serving most of that time in the patrol division. I'm very pleased to have the opportunity to command the men and women of our fine department.

Part of my philosophy is to be more in touch with the community. In this economy, when resources are dwindling, it is more important than ever for the police department to maintain a positive relationship with the community it serves. When the community and the police work together, Lindenwold can become a much safer place. Communication is the key to forging a positive, productive relationship between us, the police department and you the residents.

In order to make it easier for the community to reach us, we have recently launched a Facebook page on which we can post information that the community should be aware of such as crime trends, crime prevention tips wanted persons, missing persons, etc. We also are using crime mapping software to enable our officers to track where crimes are occurring and recognize patterns. This in turn will allow officers to be deployed to areas that may be experiencing a peak in criminal activity. Anonymous tips can be forwarded to the police department through this system as well. Please visit us at Facebook.com/LindenwoldPd. Instructions for using the anonymous tips system are posted there.

Thank you, and stay safe!

Chief Thomas J. Brennan

The Lindenwold Police Department is Proud To Introduce Two New Officers

Patrolman Juan Caceres and Patrolman Jose Class were sworn in at the council meeting on December 12, 2012. Both officers transferred to Lindenwold from the Camden Police Department where they served with the Quality Response Unit. Patrolman Caceres and Class are both bi-lingual in Spanish and English which, along with their other skills will make them valuable assets to the Lindenwold Police Department. The officers begin a twelve week field training program on December 18th.

The Lindenwold Police Department has seen a spike in vehicle burglaries during the month of August. These incidents appear to be crimes of opportunity occurring mostly to unlocked vehicles. Most of the items stolen include GPS devices, iPods, and car stereos.
We would like to remind all of our residents to lock their vehicles and remove all portable electronic devices from the car. Furthermore, keep a record of the model and serial number of any electronic devices you own. If you are able to provide these numbers to the police, the item(s) can be entered into a National computer system that, if recovered will alert the police that the item had been reported stolen. We are also asking that residents report any suspicious activity to the police immediately.
Residents are reminded to go to www.CrimeReports.com and register to see police activity within the Borough. Anonymous tips can be relayed to the police department through Crime Reports as well.
