Teaneck, NJ — The Teaneck Police Department expressed its appreciation Monday for Chaverim of Bergen County, crediting the volunteer organization for stepping up to assist both residents and officers during the weekend’s heavy snowstorm.
In a post shared on social media, the department highlighted several incidents where Chaverim members responded to help stranded drivers and emergency vehicles throughout the storm. Volunteers helped free a New Jersey Transit bus that became stuck at Queen Anne Road and State Street and later assisted officers in digging out a patrol car trapped in deep snow on Ayers Court.
Police officials said Chaverim’s quick response and teamwork were instrumental in helping the community recover from the storm’s impact.
“We truly appreciate Chaverim’s continued support, teamwork, and dedication to keeping our community safe,” the department wrote. “Your help makes a real difference for our residents and our department.”
Chaverim, a volunteer emergency assistance group, routinely supports first responders and motorists during severe weather events, providing on-call aid for everything from stuck vehicles to traffic safety and storm cleanup efforts.
