POLICE HEADQUARTERS EVACUATED, SPRINGFIELD AVENUE BLOCKED FOR 30 MINUTES

Police shut down Springfield Avenue from Boyden Avenue to Burnett Avenue for about 30 minutes this morning during what appeared to be an evacuation of the police headquarters at 1618 Springfield Avenue.

Emergency responders at the scene, which included the Essex County Sheriff's Office, would not provide information, but one officer referred to it as "a situation."

Police and court employees appeared to have been evacuated at about 10 a.m. and were let back in some 30 minutes later when the scene was secured.

We will provide more details as they are available.
