House Numbers are very Important 
Please note, it is required by the Township Ordinance, Chapter 73, that all buildings (houses and businesses) be properly labeled with identifying number (street address).  This helps us help you in case of emergency, 911 response. The properly numbered building helps with easy identification, quick response and reduces confusion.  Thanks for your cooperation.

Gloucester Township Crisis Intervention Team

Gloucester Township Crisis Intervention Team provides assistance to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.  Working with the local police department, volunteers are trained to provide comfort, education and referral services to persons and families in need.

Many victims of domestic violence and sexual assault are frightened and embarrassed by what happens to them.  They are often unaware of the many services available in the community.  These include emergency food, clothing and shelter, as well as counseling and legal services.

If you are a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault, you are encouraged to call the Gloucester Township CIT at (856) 374-5728 or the domestic violence hotline at (856) 227-1234.  If you are calling the CIT line, please leave a message and phone number where you can be reached and a volunteer will return your call.  The Domestic Violence Hotline is manned day and night.  Your confidentiality is assured either number you call.

The CIT team is looking for volunteers to join the team.  CIT members undergo a forty-hour ten-week training program to prepare them as Crisis Intervention Counselors.  If you are interested in volunteering for the team, call (856) 374-5728 or (856) 227-1800, ext. 22.
