Who covers your address in New Jersey
New Jersey is densely municipal: almost every borough and township runs its own police department, which is why two neighbouring towns have completely different non emergency numbers. The New Jersey State Police cover the interstates and provide policing for a number of smaller municipalities that have no department of their own.
If you are not sure whether your address falls inside city limits, our guide on police departments vs sheriff’s offices explains how to tell.
Before you call
Have the address or nearest cross streets ready, a short factual description of what happened and when, and say straight away if the person involved has already left. Our guide on when to call 911 versus the non emergency line covers the cases that are not obvious.
