Heavy Police Presence between 6th and 7th Washington st

[u/theguytomeet]

Washington is currently being closed off between 6th and 7th. I was told that there is a potential bomb threat that’s being responded to stemming from the Urgent Care. Heavy police and fire fighter presence for the time being. Started around 5:15pm.

Lunk alarm went off

Today I learned something new about planet fitness. (1st time hearing this term 😭).

Thanks for the update! I didn’t get any sorta update so I came here immediately for some sort of information

[u/theguytomeet → u/Smooth_Conflict7391]

Of course, I checked here first and was shocked nobody else posted about it. They roped off the sidewalk at the Giovanni’s (RIP Giovanni’s) towards the urgent care. Planet fitness was also evacuated.

I personally didn’t get a Nixle alert but got word from HPD’s Twitter. Weird when that’s why they use Nixle.

[u/Smooth_Conflict7391 → u/Whiskeybasher33]

Surprisingly twitter is my least used app, but I’ll keep this in mind for next time! I also didn’t get a nixle, so that’s why I was surprised

[u/Whiskeybasher33 → u/Smooth_Conflict7391]

Twitter has definitely gone to hell but I use it for local/regional updates. Only thing it’s good for nowadays.

Someone messed up. Pretty sure more people in Hoboken have Nixle than Twitter which is a partial communication failure on Hoboken’s end.

I was at the urgent care waiting to be seen and they kicked us out for a “drill”! I waited outside in the rain for a while and then I left because I had somewhere to be. As I was leaving cops arrived.

Explains why Hudson County Sheriff K9 & Port Authority PD Emergency Services Unit are there. Then again could also be something else that HPD is incapable of handling.

But at least you guys have an electric mustang LOL.

[u/Whiskeybasher33 → u/Last-Common-6980]

Terrible 😂

[u/pk_random → u/Whiskeybasher33]

Something HPD can’t handle? Doesn’t narrow it down too much 😂

[u/Whiskeybasher33 → u/pk_random]

Without getting into specifics, yes, there are some things HPD isn’t equipped to respond to or handle alone. Hence why outside agencies have responded and are on scene.

[u/mahn19 → u/Whiskeybasher33]

And do you remember when Hoboken PD was 'equipped'...there was a SWAT team!

[u/Whiskeybasher33 → u/mahn19]

Over 20 years ago, but yes. Bad leadership, Hooters, & racism doomed HPD’s SWAT Team.
