USR SCAM ALERT: Over the last week, the NJCCIC has received several incident reports from NJ residents regarding an SMS text phishing (SMiShing) scam impersonating the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). These messages claim that the user has an outstanding traffic ticket and payment is due. If not paid by May 29, the user will have their vehicle registration and driving privileges suspended, receive a toll booth charge increase, and their credit score will be impacted. The URL displayed in the message includes “ezpassnj” and “.gov” in an attempt to appear legitimate. The message itself does not allow the user to click the included link directly but instead instructs them to reply to the message with “Y” and reopen the message to click the link or to copy the URL to their browser. These links lead to fraudulent websites that attempt to extract personally identifiable information, financial details, or account credentials.

This SMiShing scheme is similar to others that have circulated impersonating NJ toll services and EZ-Pass claiming the user has an outstanding toll that needs to be paid to avoid a late fee.

The NJ MVC only sends text messages to remind residents about scheduled MVC appointments. It does not send text messages regarding driver’s licenses or vehicle registration status.

New Jersey E-ZPass does not send unsolicited text messages to collect payments. If your account is in collections and being handled by Credit Collection Services, you may receive text messages from Credit Collection Services regarding your account. Their text message will list a phone number, their website www.ccspayment.com, and reference a file number.

Please see the below recommendations provided by the NJCCIC:

Recommendations


• Avoid clicking links, responding to, or otherwise acting on unsolicited text messages.
• Visit official websites directly to determine if there is an issue with an account or outstanding bill.
• Avoid submitting sensitive information, including financial or account details, to unverified websites.
• Report SMiShing to the FTC, FBI's IC3, and NJCCIC, and forward the message to 7726 (SPAM).

It’s that time of year again - fawn season! 🦌

If you come across a baby deer (fawn) lying quietly in your yard, don’t worry it’s likely not abandoned. Mother deer often leave their fawns alone for several hours while they forage nearby. This is perfectly natural behavior, and the fawn’s instinct is to stay still and scentless to avoid attracting predators.

What should you do?
✅ Leave the fawn where it is
✅ Keep children and pets (especially dogs) away
✅ Check back from a distance later — the mother usually returns around dawn or dusk

🚨 Only intervene if:
• It’s lying in a dangerous location (like a road)

In those cases, please contact Bergen County Animal Control - (201) 229-4616

Help keep our local wildlife safe and wild this season! 🌳🦌

Is your teen okay?
Mental health issues don't announce themselves with flashing warning signs.

They creep in quietly, often disguised as "just a phase" or "teen moodiness." But the numbers tell a different story:
• 1 in 3 teens will experience an anxiety disorder
• 49.5% of adolescents have had a mental health disorder at some point
• Only 1 in 5 teens with diagnosable mental health issues gets help

This Mental Health Awareness Month, pay attention to subtle shifts in your teen's behavior:
• Dropping activities they once loved
• Sleeping much more (or less) than usual
• Grades suddenly slipping
• Withdrawing from friends and family

Mental health and substance use are directly linked. Teens often turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with untreated anxiety, depression, or trauma.

But early intervention works. Building protective factors like problem-solving skills, emotional vocabulary, and self-awareness helps teens make healthier decisions.

Upper Saddle River Residents and Surrounding Communities,
On behalf of the Upper Saddle River Police Department, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all of you for your patience, cooperation, and understanding during the closure of Lake Street on April 8th, 2025. We recognize that this closure posed a significant challenge to daily routines, traffic flow, and local businesses, and we genuinely appreciate the efforts made by all to navigate this temporary disruption.
Throughout this period, the understanding demonstrated by our residents and the residents of our neighboring communities has been exemplary. Whether it was adjusting travel routes, remaining informed, or simply being courteous to others on the road, your support was crucial in ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone in our town.
We also thank the neighboring municipalities for their continued cooperation and coordination, which helped ease the impact of this closure and maintain a smooth traffic flow.
As we continue to work together to address these challenges, we are reminded of the strength of our community and the shared commitment to keeping Upper Saddle River and its neighboring towns safe and vibrant.
Thank you again for your understanding and continued support. We are grateful to serve such a wonderful community.

SPECIFIC GUIDANCE FOR COUNTY/MUNICIPAL AGENCIES HANDLING, DISPOSING, OR PROVIDING ASSISTANCE TO RESIDENTS REGARDING EXPIRED WILD BIRDS SUSPECTED OF INFECTION WITH HIGHLY PATHOGENIC AVIAN INFLUENZA (HPAI)
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Division of Sustainable Waste Management (DSWM) has reviewed information from the Division of Fish and Wildlife (F&W), New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) and other Federal and State sources, and has prepared additional guidance for counties and municipalities regarding the handling and disposal of dead birds or wildlife suspected of infection with HPAI. Be advised that the cause of death should be considered HPAI unless there is evidence of an obvious trauma, or the dead birds are songbirds.
NJDEP recommends minimizing personal, pet, domestic farm animals or other wildlife exposure and contact with dead birds or wildlife. For small numbers (1-19) of carcasses, F&W is instructing the public to reach out to their local municipality regarding disposal options. According to F&W, leaving carcasses on the landscape is acceptable if there is low risk of contact from children, pets or poultry.
If an individual elects to dispose of a carcass, they are advised to follow the procedures outlined below:
1. Wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, a mask, and eye protection.
2. Dead birds and wildlife should not be directly handled. Avoid direct contact with the carcass by using a tool such as a shovel or pitchfork to move the carcass.
3. While wearing PPE, double bag each carcass, close the bag using a zip tie, and place in an outdoor secure trash bin inaccessible by pets or other wildlife. Double bag used PPE and other disposable items potentially in contact with the carcass.
4. Following disposal, immediately wash your hands with soap and warm water and any non-disposable items that were used (e.g., shovels, pitchforks, etc.) using diluted household bleach (½ cup of bleach mixed with 1 gallon of water). Allow the bleach solution to sit on the item for 10 minutes prior to rinsing off with warm water.
If transporting HPAI suspected waste directly to waste disposal facilities:
1. Dispose carcasses using double-bagged non-porous contractor bags at an appropriate landfill or in a secure trash bin/dumpster inaccessible by other animals.
2. Care and caution must be taken when transporting carcasses to disposal sites to prevent contamination of vehicles/equipment. Precautions must be taken to prevent leakage of any bodily fluids (blood, saliva, urine, feces) or parts from transporting vehicle.
3. All non-disposable containers, tarps and coverings must be washed and disinfected with a 10% bleach solution (½ cup of bleach mixed with 1 gallon of water) allowed to sit for 10 minutes before being rinsed off with warm water. All disposable items must be double-bagged in non-porous contractor bags and disposed of appropriately. Prior to transport to the landfill, the exterior of the bags should be similarly disinfected.
4. Prior to leaving a mortality site and following disposal, vehicles must be cleaned and disinfected after each use with a 10% bleach solution (or ½ cup of bleach mixed with 1 gallon of water) and allowed to sit for 10 minutes before being rinsed off with warm water).
Sanitary Landfill is Preferred Disposal Location:
HPAI suspected bird mortalities and associated waste are classified as ID 25, animal and food processing waste. Once collected, the DSWM recommends that HPAI waste is directly disposed in a permitted sanitary landfill. If no in-county landfill is available, DSWM recommends disposal at the closest out-of-county landfill authorized to accept the waste.
For a list of NJ landfills and contacts see www.nj.gov/dep/dshw/lrm/aocslf.htm.
While disposal of HPAI waste in a non-landfill facility is not preferred, it may be necessary in certain instances. The Department requests that counties with waste flow control of ID 25 waste to non-landfill facilities waive waste flow requirements for disposal of HPAI waste and handle the material in a manner to avoid exposure to the material.
County Solid Waste Coordinators to Provide Guidance:
DSWM has reached out to County Solid Waste Coordinators for assistance in disseminating guidance to municipalities within their jurisdiction regarding the management of HPAI waste and is reaching out to facilities within the county regarding the acceptance of HPAI waste. Residents should be provided with contact information at both the municipal and county level for any questions related to management of HPAI waste.
DSWM is available to assist counties and to provide further communication with municipalities through its Office of Local Government Assistance.
HPAI Waste Handling/Timing:
HPAI waste should be delivered to the disposal facility within 24 hours of collection. While in storage/transit, HPAI waste must be kept protected from wildlife and the elements.
Agencies collecting and transporting HPAI waste should provide advanced notice of the delivery to the disposal facility.

We must remember those who have survived car crashes. Many of them face the challenges of chronic conditions like Traumatic Brain Injury. Their freedom and independence are often stolen from them, and that is a profound injustice that we cannot overlook. It's a situation that demands our attention and support. # JustDrive

On Saturday 3/29/25, at approximately 12:00 PM, Officers from the Upper Saddle River Police Department responded to Lions Park for the report of a suspicious incident. The individual involved in the incident left the scene prior to police arrival. Officers spoke with the witness and conducted a brief investigation. The nature of this incident and intent of the involved individual remains unknown. However, there is no current evidence or indication that this incident involved the attempted abduction of a child.

What You Need To Know About Teen Depression

Recent NIMH research reveals a spike in teen depression rates.

Data shows that 1 in 3 adolescents experience anxiety, while 1 in 5 face depression.

The good news - you as a parent can spot the changes first. Watch for shifts like sleeping more, grades dropping, or pulling away from friends.

These signs point to bigger mental health needs.

Want to help? Start with open talks. Ask your teen about their day. Small chats build trust for bigger conversations.

The answer is: Nothing. In Walnut Creek CA. racists have badges authority and guns. From the lying racist Contra Costa County fire department who will frame innocent law-abiding minorities by starting small fires “investigating” them then determining the “suspect” to be an innocent law abiding minority. Then they will team with the lying racist Walnut Creek police department to harass and surveil the innocent law abiding minority to the fullest extent of the “law” The question is: What’s a demon to a Child of God? Remember Sonya Massey, Jesus Christ is Lord.

Dear Upper Saddle River Residents,

As we enjoy the peaceful evenings in our beautiful borough, it's important to stay safe while walking at night. Please be aware that lighting in some areas may be limited, which can make it more difficult for drivers and others to see pedestrians.

To help ensure your safety, we strongly recommend wearing reflective clothing or carrying a flashlight when walking after dark. These simple steps can make a big difference in staying visible and reducing the risk of accidents.

Thank you for helping keep our community safe!
