Wall Township police issue warning after spike in resisting arrest cases
Wall Township Police Alert Community on Resisting Arrest Incidents
**Wall Township, NJ** – The Wall Township Police Department released a statement on Wednesday addressing a surge in resisting arrest incidents. Officials point out that resisting arrest not only constitutes a criminal offense, but also endangers both those arrested and officers.
The department reported six cases of resisting arrest over the weekend. Chief of Police Sean O’Halloran emphasized the potential dangers, noting that officers are trained in de-escalation techniques, but active resistance may necessitate the use of force, potentially leading to injuries.
Resisting arrest can manifest as physical or verbal actions, including struggling, fighting, fleeing, making threats, or refusing legal commands. The department stressed that resisting does not prevent arrest and could heighten risks for those involved.
Chief O’Halloran urged cooperation with law enforcement as key to safe outcomes, underscoring the department’s commitment to professionalism and respect. Residents with concerns or questions are encouraged to contact the department at 732-449-4500.
