Police asking public for help in identifying a suspect believed to have passed a bad check in October.
Police are asking for the public's help in identifying a man they say passed a fraudulent check worth almost $10,000 at a Glen Rock Bank.

NJ.com catches up with Det. James Calaski, whose Facebook posts detailing crimes a century ago have been very popular.
The Glen Rock Police Department's recent initiative to detail early 20th century life in a small agricultural town has led to a large spike in engagement with its residents. Items posted on the department's Facebook page include the 1921 berry-picking shooting, a dramatic train heist, and even two men arrested for insulting women. Social media guru Detective James Calaski is responsible for the posts, which he told NJ.com has led to a 3,000 percent increase "reach". The idea came partially from police work and partially from his ongoing work as a history student at William Paterson University, he told the news website. "You just look at the way Glen Rock was back in the 1920s. It was agricultural - you had people complaining about getting …

You're free to go but promise you won't shoot him again, police chief tells Glen Rock man on Aug. 7, 1921.
How times have changed. On Aug. 7, 1921, South Maple Avenue resident Roy Way told Glen Rock police he was "shot by an unknown person while picking berries in [the] sand pit." Police Chief James R. Houlihan investigated and determined shots were fired from the premises of a Mr. Dougherty on Lincoln Avenue, according to the archives. "As Mr Way refused to make any complaint, Mr Dougherty was reprimanded by Chief Houlihan and let go under the promise that there would be no more shooting," a Facebook post detailing the incident states. The police department of the small, agrarian borough had only been formed in 1918. Houlihan, a former Ridgewood police officer, patrolled the town on a bicycle. He was joined by two other officers, both of whom …

The following letter to the editor was issued by Glen Rock Police Captain Jonathan Miller. On behalf of Chief Stahman, I would like to thank the police officers of the GRPD who were on-duty from October 28th to November 4th as they worked tirelessly dealing with the effects of Hurricane Sandy. The GRPD responded to an unprecedented number of emergency calls during that period of time & handled each call in an expeditious and professional manner, even when conditions were extremely dangerous. Mutual aid assistance with our neighboring towns was not an option as they too were overwhelmed. When there was a lull in activity, our officers were rechecking hazardous conditions, going door-to-door making sure that those who could not get out …
