Here's What South Jersey Police Are Doing About 'Boom-Car Parties'

CINNAMINSON, NJ — Police departments on both sides of the Delaware River will step up their efforts to stop "boom-car parties," the events in which people on undeveloped land in the Philadelphia area use large speakers for their parties — according to the Cinnaminson Police Department.

Officials from the State of New Jersey and several New Jersey municipalities met with representatives of the City of Philadelphia on Thursday.

"As a result of that meeting, the Philadelphia Police Department has ordered additional resources to patrol the areas in which the noises have been reported, specifically during peak hours," the Cinnaminson Police Department said. "Agency policies and procedures are being reviewed and modified to help combat this issue as well."

The police are asking residents to assist their efforts by reporting any loud noises to them by calling the Cinnaminson Police Department’s non-emergency phone number at 856-829-6666.

All parties involved in Thursday's meeting will meet again "soon" to evaluate and assess these efforts, according to the Cinnaminson Township Police.
