Who covers which part of Middlesex County
Every address in Middlesex 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 (Carteret Police Department, Edison Township Police Department, New Brunswick Police Department, Perth Amboy Police Department, Sayreville Police Department); for any other town, call that town’s police. Middlesex County has about 863,623 residents on 309 square miles of land; about 288,708 of them (33%) live in the 5 towns with their own police departments listed here (Edison 106,836, New Brunswick 55,846, Perth Amboy 55,249, Sayreville 45,496, Carteret 25,281) (U.S. Census Bureau, 2023 population estimate).
