Cranford Cop Trading Cards: Gotta Get'em All

CRANFORD, NJ - The latest set of trading cards featuring photos and biographies of Cranford Police Department officers ready to be distributed by officers.

The project was initiated by the Cranford Police Department Community Policing Unit as part of a series of initiatives designed to encourage interactions with local youth and presenting the officers as role models.

This week kicked off with Chief Ryan Greco and his card sponsor, The Lisa Stafford Team. With summer around the corner, Cranford children are encouraged to ask officers for their cards when they see them.

For the safety of the children, parents are asked to not have their children approach a police officer while they are conducting a motor vehicle stop or while they are directing traffic, police said.
