Who covers which part of Gloucester County
Every address in Gloucester 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 (East Greenwich Township Police Department, Elk Township Police Department, Glassboro Police Department, Woolwich Township Police Department); for any other town, call that town’s police. Gloucester County has about 308,423 residents on 322 square miles of land; about 54,693 of them (18%) live in the 4 towns with their own police departments listed here (Glassboro 23,987, Woolwich Township 13,839, East Greenwich Township 12,394, Elk Township 4,473) (U.S. Census Bureau, 2023 population estimate).
