Heads Up, Phones Down - A Warning From Long Beach Township Police About Pokemon Go

There are no Pokemons in the Long Beach Township Police Department.

"...and if there are, you still can't come in and catch them," according to the police department's Facebook page. "This applies to other areas, like private property or public places that might be closed for the day. Please don't trespass, it's illegal even if you are playing a game."

Pokemon Go players should keep their heads up and phones down while walking, biking and driving and be aware of their surroundings.

"We don't want anyone losing their life over trying to catch a Pokemon," the post states.

Parents should discuss potential dangers of playing the game with their children.

"Other than those listed above, there is the risk of predators either luring children with the game or just showing up where children might be playing," the post states.
