The Livingston Police Department will be taking appointments for new drivers who want to participate in a mock motor vehicle stop with local officers. The officers will explain the typical procedures for a motor vehicle stop, answer any questions and then will allow the participant to engage with an officer and experience a routine traffic stop in a controlled setting. The participant’s vehicle will be used for the practice stop.
Drivers must be a resident of Livingston and have received their license within the past year. If the new driver is under 18, a parent or guardian must attend with them; this is optional for adults. The driver must have a valid driver’s license, registration and insurance card to present on arrival.
The program will be offered on Thursdays beginning January 23, 2025 between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. in 20-minute slots. Pre-registration is required and can be done by visiting livingstonnj .org/210/Programs.
People may contact the Community Policing Unit at 973-992-3000, extension #3600, or email Officer Joy Klapal at jklapal@livingstonnj. org with any questions.
