The Roselle Municipal Court is considered a court of limited jurisdiction, having responsibility for motor vehicle and parking tickets, minor criminal-type offenses (for example, simple assault and bad checks), municipal ordinance offenses (such as dog barking or building code violations) and other offenses. Many serious criminal cases, such as robbery, auto theft, or assault, start out as complaints filed in the Municipal Court but those cases are transferred to the Superior Court located at the Union County Courthouse in Elizabeth.
Under the guidelines prescribed by both the New Jersey Rules of Court and the Administrative Office of the Courts, the Roselle Municipal Court is responsible for both the processing and disposition of all traffic summonses, criminal complaints and city ordinance violations cited within the Borough of Roselle.

The Roselle Office of Emergency Management (OEM) in a mutual partnership with Police, Fire, EMS, and other Borough Departments and in coordination with federal, state, county, and other local municipalities work to prepare for and respond to any man-made or natural hazard that may jeopardize life and property. The Roselle Office of Emergency Management is responsible for overseeing the borough’s Emergency Operating Plan (EOP) as one of the four phases of emergency management; mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.
Mitigation: Mitigation is the cornerstone of emergency management. It’s the continuing effort to lessen the impact disasters have on life and property. Mitigation is defined as “sustained action that reduces or eliminates long term risk to life and property from man-made or natural hazards and their effects.”
Preparedness: Preparedness takes the form of plans or procedures designed to save lives and to minimize damage when an emergency occurs. Planning, training, and disaster drills are the essential elements of preparedness. These activities ensure that when a disaster strikes, emergency managers will be able to provide the best response possible. Disasters are caused by high winds, floods, releases of deadly chemicals, fires, ice storms, earthquakes, as well as other man-made or natural hazards. When disaster strikes, the best protection is knowing what to do.
Response: Response is defined as the actions taken to save lives and prevent further damage to property in a disaster or emergency situation. Response is putting preparedness plans into action. Response activities may include damage assessment, search and rescue, fire fighting, evacuation, and sheltering victims.
Recovery: Recovery is defined as the actions taken to return the community to normal following a disaster. Repairing, replacing, or rebuilding property are examples of recovery.

At the end of 2015, Roselle launched its municipal identification program. It was the first project of the newly-created Office of Hispanic-Latino Affairs.
“Roselle is a diverse community that must be open and accessible to all residents,” said Mayor Donald Shaw. “People should know that the door is open and that no one should have to prove that they count - everybody counts.”
Among the many benefits of the municipal ID is that it allows better access to municipal services.
Meetings take place the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers at 210 Chestnut Street. Dates are subject to change; please call the Borough to confirm.

The Rotary Club of Roselle-Roselle Park was chartered on April 30, 1923 and since that time has supported many local and international organizations, charities and projects. Members of the club, led this year by Keyanna Jones, include a diverse group of people who are current and former residents, business owners and community leaders in Roselle, Roselle Park and Linden. Over the years, the club has supported the libraries, first aid squads, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, WW I and II Veterans Memorials, youth sports, police and fire departments, battered women’s shelters and the Chamber of Commerce.
With a focus on youth engagement and support, the club also sponsors students who participate in Rotary Youth Leadership Academy and the Youth Exchange; and they recognize Students of the Month from each of the three high Schools in the Twin Boroughs of Roselle and Roselle Park.
With the motto: “Service Above Self,” the Rotary Club of Roselle Park is a true embodiment of a local service club with global reach.

The Roselle Everett Hatcher Prevention Coalition (REHPC) was developed by a Coalition Director along with a volunteer committee to address substance abuse and promote prevention since 1989. REHPC’s vision is to foster the growth of a successful community of youth and families making positive choices to remain drug free. Our goal is to prevent and reduce youth substance abuse in Roselle.
From its inception, the coalition has followed a shared leadership model, for which shared responsibilities divided across the coalition membership has allowed everyone to become part of the movement.
For more than a decade, REHPC generated community awareness and support through several activities in the Roselle community. More recently, however, our structure was enhanced as we were introduced to coalition-building strategies through support from GCADA, SAMHSA, CADCA and Prevention Links.
Some of our success stories:
• Project Medicine Drop Box• Cops in School, Parent University, Red Ribbon Week, DARE,
What Kids Need to Succeed, The Lead & Seed• National Night Out in partnership with the Police Department• Presentations including; Hidden in Plain Sight and Getting High Naturally• A Drug-free Cinco De Mayo with the Hispanic-Latino Community• Website & Facebook page• 2018 Need Assessment; 2017 Youth Survey, 2017/2018 Community Survey.• Summer Camp Leadership program with the Recreation Department • Monthly meetings• And more!
