1. Princeton Police To Increase Enforcement On 4 Streets In September (patch.com) — Princeton drivers will see stepped-up traffic enforcement throughout September as local police focus on speeding, stop sign violations, and heavy truck traffic on several key streets, including Valley Road, Jefferson Road, Hamilton Avenue, Linden Lane, Princeton-Kingston Road, and Mercer Street. Residents are urged to follow traffic laws to help keep Princeton's streets safer during this enforcement period.
2. Why Are Scammers Targeting Princeton's Seniors? Willie Sutton Had an Answer (tapinto.net) — Princeton police are warning older residents about a surge in phone scams where callers pose as law enforcement or government officials and demand immediate payment via gift cards or cryptocurrency. Officers stress that real agencies will never request payment this way and urge you to hang up, verify using trusted numbers, talk to someone you trust, and report any suspicious calls to Princeton police.
3. Masked Group Displaying White Supremacist Flags Gathers Near Princeton University Campus (hudsonreporter.com) — A small masked group carrying white supremacist flags and a racist banner gathered briefly near Princeton University, prompting a response from Princeton Police and campus security. The group dispersed within about 40 minutes, and authorities are investigating the gathering as a bias incident with help from state police, while the university publicly condemned the display of hate.
