SHOUT OUT: As part of their broad community work, Fair Lawn police collected $3,500 for New Jersey Special Olympics (and won two of three) in the Snow Bowl Flag Football Tournament hosted by the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium earlier this month.

Fair Lawn police also brought the Officer Phil program to all of the borough’s elementary schools this year. Funded by area businesses, it teaches safety awareness to grades K-4.

Last week, Otto the Auto visited Lyncrest School. AAA North Jersey hosted the program, which teaches K-3 students roadway safety.
