Got questions for our local Clinton Township Police Department?
Ask Officer Raff by emailing: ctnl@comcast.net or: rvastola@ctpd.
org and add the words "Ask Officer Raff" in the subject line.
Ask Officer Raff:
Dear Officer Raff, As an animal lover, one of my biggest
fears while driving is having an animal unexpectedly come
into my path. What should one do if they hit an animal or
come across one that has been hit by a car, whether it be
wild or domesticated?
Thank you, Need to Know in Lebanon
Dear Need to Know,
In New Jersey, any time the operator of a motor vehicle strikes an
animal, be it wildlife or a domesticated animal, they should stop in
a safe location and notify the police. Officers will respond and complete
a motor vehicle crash report and attend to the animal. In the case of wildlife,
officers can humanely destroy injured wildlife in order to minimize suffering.
Domestic animals are turned over to animal control or taken directly to a local
vet, depending on their condition. If you come across an animal that has been hit
by a car, you can notify the police of its location and officers will respond to check
on its condition. We urge drivers to be mindful of their surroundings
and their safety when stopping their vehicle on the side of the road,
for any reason. Regards, Officer Raff
