Traffic Ticket or Criminal Complaint in Willingboro, New Jersey

As previously stated, Willingboro had the most aggravated assault, heroin possession and other indictable crimes (i.e. 644) over the most recent period reported by the New Jersey Administrative Office of the Courts. This is not a statistic that reflects favorably in terms of public safety in the Township. Less serious criminal violations, referred to as disorderly persons offenses, are more in line with what you might expect for a town of Willingboro’s size and population. There were a total of 1,032 offenses of this nature during this same period along with 3,064 moving traffic violations outside of driving while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs/cds. The only major roadway in the municipality is U.S. Route 130 so most of the traffic stops resulting in arrest or charge occur on local streets like Windover Lane (i.e. Route 626), Levitt Parkway, and John F. Kennedy Way.
