Gloucester Twp. Council To Consider $475K For Police Equipment

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — Gloucester Township Council will consider a proposal that would allow it to purchase various items for the police department when it meets Monday night.

Gloucester Township Council will meet at 7:30 p.m. Monday night at the municipal building, 1261 Chews Landing Road.

It will consider a proposed bond ordinance on introduction to set aside $475,805, including the borrowing of $453,147 to purchase capital equipment for the police department.

Items would include tasers, dispatch equipment and computer equipment. The down payment would be $22,658 and the life of the bond would be five years.

There will also be a public hearing and final vote on a proposed ordinance that would vacate Maple Avenue. The action would allow PSE&G to expand a substation currently in the area. PSE&G already owned property on one side of the street, and recently purchased property on the other side, according to officials. The street is a dead-end street, and the electric company will now own all the property in that area.
