Utilizing a philosophy of community policing and a commitment to providing excellence in service, our police department is eager to accept the challenges facing law enforcement in the 21st century.

The Patrol Division handles the majority of the Police Department's annual calls for service. In 2006, the North Bergen Police Department handled 61,660 calls. Our Patrol Division focuses on improvements in the quality of life for our residents, businesses, and visitors. The North Bergen Police Department's Detective Bureau works in conjunction with the Patrol Division and is responsible for the general and forensic investigation of crimes. In addition our department also has many specialized divisions created to help prevent certain types of crime, also focusing on specific issues within our Township. These divisions handle various assignments including, but not limited to, DARE education, motor vehicle theft, Megan's law registration, gang and juvenile related issues, homeland security, traffic complaints, and community oriented policing.
