Today, the Medford Lakes Police Department had the pleasure of welcoming Planting Fundamentals LLC for a special tour of our department!

Planting Fundamentals is a community-based behavioral health agency dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities through hands-on experiences, meaningful activities, and skill-building opportunities. Through agricultural work on their farm and structured tasks in their warehouse, the organization helps participants develop valuable life and vocational skills in a supportive, person-centered environment.

During their visit, participants had the opportunity to meet our officers, ask questions, and learn more about the many roles and responsibilities of the Medford Lakes Police Department.

We are grateful for the opportunity to connect with such an outstanding organization and its participants. We wrapped up our visit with a refreshing smoothie at Honey Post, and we sincerely thank them for their generosity and hospitality!

Thank you to Planting Fundamentals LLC for spending time with us! We appreciate the opportunity to build connections, strengthen community partnerships, and create positive experiences with the members of our community. 💙🚔

What a truly special and legendary day for our community!

The Medford Lakes Police Department was honored to help protect the iconic Stanley Cup while spending time with our community and members of the 1974 and 1975 Stanley Cup Champion Philadelphia Flyers!

We extend our sincere thanks to the Hockey Hall of Fame, Keeper of the Cup, NHL, Philadelphia Flyers, Philadelphia Flyers Alumni Association, and Medford Lakes' very own Orest Kindrachuk for making this unforgettable event possible.
