News from Hillsborough Township Police Department: "Fans Don't Let Fans Drive Drunk"

 In an effort to keep Hillsborough Township roads safe during the weekend of the Super Bowl the Hillsborough Township Police Department in conjunction with the Somerset County's Safe passage initiative will be conducting extra patrols to combat drunk driving. Additionally, the variable message board will be placed out on Route 206 near Andria Avenue displaying the message "Fans don't let fans drive drunk".
