Excerpts
GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP — A safe surrender event is coming to the township next month, giving those with nonviolent warrants in Atlantic and Cape May counties an opportunity to have them cleared.
“The event is a
judgment-free zone,” said Jill Houck, operations division manager for
the Atlantic/Cape May Vicinage. “It doesn’t matter why you have the
warrant. If the warrant can be recalled, we recall it, no questions
asked. We are here to help people get a fresh start.”
The
event, which will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 7 at Beacon
Church, 420 S. Sixth Ave., will include representatives from local
social service and public agencies, including the Motor Vehicle
Commission, mental health and substance abuse treatment groups, as well
as legal, housing and veterans assistance.
If a warrant cannot be recalled, participants will not be arrested, Houck said, but they will have the opportunity to safely surrender if they choose to do so.
