The Glen Rock Police Department, in cooperation with the DPW, Fire Department, Ambulance Corp and OEM commenced snow storm response operations beginning at 4:45AM. Additional public safety personnel were on standby from all of Glen Rock’s emergency services. Personnel responded to 3 medical emergencies, 2 utility related issues, a disabled vehicle and several other non-storm related calls. Thanks in large part to residents’ cooperation in staying indoors and keeping vehicles off borough roadways, public safety issues were kept to a minimum and the DPW was able to respond to the storm with a high level of efficiency. By all accounts the borough’s roads were cleared in record time. Glen Rock Borough and Glen Rock Public Schools officials and administrative staff participated with emergency services in pre-storm planning as well as in the development of contingency plans.
