| As
summer quickly approaches, the members of
the Avon-by-the-Sea Police Department would
like to remind residents and visitors of
the parking changes that occur during this
time. We have some new Class I Officers
in the 2 week training course at the Monmouth
County Police Academy and our Class II Officers
just completed the 10 month program. They
are all eager to get back to work at the
beachfront. |
|
| PLEASE
NOTE: May 1st through November
14th in the first two blocks from Ocean
Avenue, the parking changes from Parallel
to Diagonal along the North & East sides. |
|
| As
each summer approaches, we like to remind
everyone of some other important topics. |
|
| 1. |
Dogs
are not permitted on the beach between
May 1st and October 1st. Dogs are
never permitted on the boardwalk. |
| 2. |
The
speed limit throughout the town is
25 MPH. |
| 3. |
Parking
is not permitted in any Lane in the
Borough. |
| 4. |
No
one is permitted to talk, page or
text on a cell phone while driving.
This law went into effect 2 months
ago, and officers are now permitted
to stop you for violating this law. |
| 5. |
Please
be cognizant of the 4-way Stops along
Third Avenue. |
| 6. |
Please
secure bicycles in a locked garage,
shed, or residence. Make sure you
have the bikes locked as well. Each
year we have a large number of bicycles
stolen. If your bikes are in a locked
garage/shed/residence out of sight
we can greatly reduce the number of
thefts. |
| 7. |
We
also need you to secure your power
tools, surfboards, lawn equipment,
and other small items. When left out
in the open, these items create an
opportunity for would-be thieves.
If we store items properly, we can
greatly reduce the chances of them
being stolen. |
| 8. |
Any
juvenile under the age of 17 is required
by law to wear a helmet while cycling,
roller-skating, in-line skating or
skateboarding. |
| 9. |
Construction
may be done on Monday through Saturday
from 8 AM through 5 PM. |
| 10. |
Lawn
Maintenance may be done after 8 AM
on Monday through Saturday and after
12 PM on Sundays. |
|
|
| If
anyone sees anything unusual, we ask that
you call the Police Department right away
at (732) 502-4500. If you would like to
contact any officer and it does not require
an immediate response, you may call the
department or go to the website and send
them an email at: www.avonpd.org. Each officer's
email address is listed on this page. Of
course you can always call Police Headquarters
as well. |
