New Community Public Safety Meeting Scheduled For Hoboken Wednesday

HOBOKEN, NJ — The city of Hoboken will hold its regular monthly CAPS community meeting on Wednesday, with police and fire officials attending.

The informal gathering will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 11, at The Hive, 1000 Park Ave. from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Representatives of Hoboken Fire, Hoboken Office of Emergency Management, Hoboken Police, Hoboken EMS and Volunteer Ambulance Corps, and the Hoboken Health Division will be there, the city has said. Light refreshments will be served.

Discussions about public safety in Hoboken have become more heated since a man from Washington D.C. randomly attacked a nanny and another man in Church Square Park in October, according to police.

The city has pledged to add 10 police officers, install lighting and cameras in the park, and take other safety measures. But some say it's not enough. READ MORE: Residents Speak Out On Nanny Attack At Special Hoboken Meeting

The Hive, a local coffee shop, noted on social media this week that its playspace for kids in the back will be closed from 8:30-10 a.m. due to the meeting.
