Cranford Police Department App-Downloads Continue To Increase

In October of 2021, the Department announced the launch of its new free mobile app. The first of its kind in this region, this new app aims to increase resident-police communications through quick push-button notifications, real-time information availability, press releases and customer-service themed conveniences. The addition of the QR code on vehicles will increase accessibility to the new app.

With the creation and implementation of this app, residents can request traffic enforcement and submit crime tips instantaneously – which activates automatic notifications to specific supervisors who can address these concerns. By offering this technology to residents free of charge, residents may use their smartphones to access crime mapping, request crash reports, see real-time weather announcements, read press releases and arrest blotters, request parking permits, access the department’s various social media platforms, and find local resources.

The app is free in both the App Store and in Google Play.
