Today the Clinton Township Police accepted donations of choking rescue kits from Maverick's Legacy, a charity organization, whose goal is to reduce preventable, choking, deaths, and injuries by providing LifeVac devices to first responders and schools, and by spreading awareness about the importance of infant and child safety. We are honored to help Maverick’s family keep his legacy alive by providing these tools to our officers as they strive to serve our community.

Thank you for the opportunity to spread Maverick's Legacy and raise awareness around choking rescue options. We are grateful to be able to provide these life saving tools in honor of our son, Maverick Chambers. If anyone knows of a police department in NJ that is looking to be equipped with airway clearance devices, please reach out to us via Facebook or through our website www.MavericksLegacy.org We have already saved 8 lives in memory of Mav through our advocacy and donations, let's keep going!
🚨🚨🚨Scam Alert🚨🚨🚨
Thank you to our colleagues in Raritan Township for sharing, please take a look!Over the last week, the New Jersey Cybersecurity Information Center (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 a specific date 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” or “njmvc” 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.
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).
