Belleville Officials: Blue Star Program Can Aid Seniors, Disabled

Press release from the Township of Belleville:

March 28, 2022

This is an assistance program for a senior citizen or handicapped person living alone to register vital information with the police department in the event of a true emergency, and/or when there is reasonable cause to believe that their health, safety, or welfare has been compromised and that they may be physically unable to call for assistance or admit emergency service personnel to their home. In addition, a house key is kept in a secure location at police headquarters (and also with the individual’s neighbor, if desired) so that access can be quickly gained to the person’s residence when needed in an emergency.

Please view and print the Blue Star Form (PDF) that must be completed. The forms and a house key can be dropped off at headquarters 24 hours a day. If you have any questions or would like more information on this program, please contact Sgt. Anthony Abate at 973-450-3348 or email aabate@bellevillenj.org.
