These are just a small portion of the departments that received grant money.

  • The Westwood Volunteer Ambulance Corps received a matching grant to help purchase a Vital Signs Monitor. This monitor allows for continuous measurement of the patient’s vitals during transport.
  • The Township of Washington Volunteer Fire Department received full funding for a Jack Stabilization System and Crash Bag kit. These jacks quickly access accident victims trapped in vehicles, which involves extrication and vehicle stabilization. The kit is quickly deployed and operated.
  • Northvale Police Department received start-up funding to develop a Junior Police Academy. This program is geared toward Grades 7 and 8, with criteria that inspire young people to have good citizenship by educating them about the criminal justice system.
  • Teaneck Police Department received a matching grant to help with the funding to upgrade the radio communications, where issues of “dead zones” existed, plaguing police officers, ambulance members, and other personnel while in the new Emergency Department of Holy Name Medical Center.
  • Hackensack Fire Department received a grant to purchase a Fire Curtain. Sealing a failed window with a Fire Curtain eliminates the Blowtorch of oxygen-filling fire down public hallways of Residential apartments and Office Buildings three stores or higher.
