The township is located in Cumberland County, along with Bridgeton, Commercial Township, Greenwich Township, Vineland, Millville, and Fairfield Township.

For example, a conviction results in a suspension of your driving license for anywhere from three months to a year for a first offense.

In addition to state-mandated penalties, other consequences related to your job, credit, and insurance rates may also result from a DWI conviction.
