The Borough of Roselle was awarded a 2012 Safe and Secure Communities Grant in the amount of $60,000 by the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice.  The grant application was filed with the assistance of Captain Denis Kelleher of the Roselle Police Department.
 
The Safe and Secure Communities Program is designed to provide municipalities with funding to add law enforcement personnel vital to effective police operations and other crime related strategies as warranted by the needs of the community. The program allows for the funding of additional officers or funding of law enforcement support personnel which would free-up officers for direct law enforcement activities. 

These grant funds will be used to cover the costs and salaries of two Roselle police officers as part of a joint patrol project with the Linden Police Department in the St. Georges Avenue area.
 
The Award Contracts are now being signed and filed with the Attorney General’s office.
