The committee will meet once a month in the evening. Volunteers are welcome. A board of education trustee has volunteered to join the new committee, and Peet hopes a police officer will also join the group’s ranks. Midland Park’s dedication to safety concerns is evident in the various opportunities available. The school district has a committee devoted to safety that includes the super- intendent, the business administrator, the school principals, teachers, members of the police department, and represen- tatives from the borough’s building and road departments. The JIF (Joint Insurance Fund) Safety Committee, chaired by Borough Clerk/Administrator Addie Hanna, is composed of all the borough department heads, including a representative from the public library, the police chief, and the fire chief. This group also includes the insurance risk manager, a JIF consultant, and representatives from the department of public works, the ambulance corps, the recreation department, and the Midland Park Office of Emergency Management. OEM also has its own Local Emergency Planning Com- mittee, which includes representatives from the community at large, the school district, and local businesses.
