The Gloucester Township Police Department (GTPD) will participate in “Goal: Zero,” a statewide high-visibility traffic enforcement initiative focused on reducing roadway fatalities and serious injuries across New Jersey. The coordinated Goal: Zero operation will take place on November 26, 2025, between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM.
Thanksgiving Eve, commonly known as “Blackout Wednesday” or “Drinksgiving,” marks the beginning of a seasonal increase in impaired driving. To address this trend, law enforcement agencies throughout the state will join together for synchronized Goal: Zero enforcement efforts, according to the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP). Goal: Zero represents a growing statewide commitment to achieving Zero Deaths, Zero Injuries, and Zero Crashes on New Jersey’s roadways. The initiative targets dangerous driving behaviors such as speeding, impaired driving, and distracted driving through a combination of education, high-visibility patrols, and data-driven enforcement.
