Cinnaminson PD Increases Patrols To Enforce School Bus Safety

CINNAMINSON, NJ — Cinnaminson police will be out in force on multiple days to ensure drivers are following the law as students go back to school. The Cinnaminson Township Police Department is working in conjunction with the Burlington County Sheriff’s Department on “Operation Safe Stop.”

(1) a fine of not less than $100.00;
(2) imprisonment for not more than 15 days or community service for 15 days; or
