Who covers which part of Essex County
Every address in Essex County belongs to a municipality (New Jersey has no unincorporated land), and each municipality is covered by its own police department or, in a few rural townships, by the New Jersey State Police. In most New Jersey counties the sheriff’s office mainly serves the courts and the county jail, so local incidents go to the town police. The departments in the table answer only for their own town (Bloomfield Police Department, East Orange Police Department, Irvington Police Department, Newark Police Department, Orange Police Department, West Orange Police Department); for any other town, call that town’s police. Essex County has about 851,117 residents on 126 square miles of land; about 569,801 of them (67%) live in the 6 towns with their own police departments listed here (Newark 304,960, East Orange 69,556, Irvington 59,925, Bloomfield 53,702, West Orange 47,871, Orange 33,787) (U.S. Census Bureau, 2023 population estimate).
