Rahway looks to enhance downtown safety with new surveillance cameras
RAHWAY – The city is taking a step toward enhancing public safety downtown by installing upgraded closed-circuit TV cameras. The project is part of a commitment by Mayor Raymond A. Giacobbe and the Rahway City Council to provide a safe and secure environment for everyone who lives, works and visits the city, officials said. The Rahway Police Department, under a contract with JCT Solutions, a technology firm specializing in security systems for municipalities and public agencies, is carrying out the project. "By strengthening our safety infrastructure, we're creating peace of mind and a stronger sense of security across our community," Giacobbe stated. The new system replaces the city's aging surveillance equipment with high-resolution cameras and modern safety tools designed to support faster, more effective emergency responses. The cameras are placed to enhance visibility in public spaces, supporting both prevention and protection efforts throughout the downtown district. City officials said the project is being funded through state appropriations funneled through the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs but did not provide the exact cost.

Camera placement was guided by public safety goals and coordinated closely with the Rahway Police Department to focus on areas with the greatest need for enhanced oversight. The technology is designed to protect shared spaces – not to monitor individuals. It reflects the city's ongoing commitment to safeguard the community in a responsible, respectful way that prioritizes public trust and transparency, officials said. The installation also includes long-term support and specialized training, ensuring the system will be maintained and operated effectively for years to come.

Insider shares new details on Steelers, Dolphins blockbuster trade
More details from the Steelers' blockbuster acquisitions of TE Jonnu Smith and Jalen Ramsey have now been revealed. On a recent episode of The Rich Eisen Show, insider Tom Pelissero explained that the Dolphins were almost forced into a player-for-player type trade scenario — as any trade partner would be more willing to take Ramsey's expensive contract if Miami took a high-salary player in return. Advertisement After trade negotiations with the Rams and Chargers fell through, Pelissero pointed to the perfect scenario that presented itself with Pittsburgh's Minkah Fitzpatrick — but it may have come down to the Pro Bowl tight end: "It just so happened that the Dolphins also had a situation with Jonnu Smith — who happens to be Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's favorite tight end — where he, too, became available," Pelissero said. "The Steelers had a guy in Minkah Fitzpatrick, who's due $15.5 million this season — his ball production in particular over the last couple of years has not been the same. Minkah is still only 28, but maybe not quite the same player he was the first time around in Miami. "[The Steelers] get a more versatile player, albeit one who's being paid more, in Jalen Ramsey. They think they can do a lot of different things with him, and a bonus out of that trade is they get a guy in Jonnu Smith, who's coming off a productive season in Miami." While some have criticized the Steelers for exchanging aging DBs, one has to wonder — after hearing Pelissero's insight — if Pittsburgh would have even entertained trading Fitzpatrick unless Smith came along as well.
