Dear Residents:

The Chief of Bedminster Township Police Department, Craig Meyer passed away on Monday February1st. The Borough resident lost a heroic battle with cancer. His family will be honoring his memory with a wake and funeral at Bailey’s Funeral Home and Saint Luke’s Church respectively.

Chief Meyer was well known in the area since he grew up in town, attended Bernards High School and of course served as Chief of a neighboring town. Because of his local roots, a huge turnout is expected for both days. In order to accommodate the large crowds and traffic certain road closures will be in place for Monday 2/8 and Tuesday 2/9. There will be detours in place for through traffic.

You will be able to get to and from your house.
