Bound Brook Police Department

The success of a Police Department in the performance of its duties is largely measured by the degree of support and cooperation it receives from the people of the community which it serves. It is of paramount important that we secure the confidence, respect, and approbation of the public. The cultivation of such desirable attitudes is dependent upon proper performance of duty by all the members and employees of the department. Professionalization of police is gaining general recognition, but it can win universal acclaim and permanent status only if the actions of the police are reflected in intelligent, sincere, efficient and courteous service. The Police profession must embody the highest attributes of every other profession; neither private profit, nor personal reward, but service to the community is the hallmark of the professional police officer. The price tag for professionalism is accountability.


To deliver quality Police Service that meets our community’s expectations, we:

  1. Do our job with skill and judgment, to keep people safe, and to keep ourselves safe.
  2. Are part of our community, and determine our proper activities from those we serve.
  3. Adapt our efforts to changing conditions, and try to anticipate rather than react.
  4. When possible, we solve the problem, rather than just handle the call.
  5. Are committed to doing the best we can, and will work to continually improve.
  6. Each have specialized and technical skills, duties, and responsibilities, but we all have one job - to help people.

Project Medicine is a program to help communities dispose of unused and or expired prescription medications and help prevent drug abuse. The Bound Brook Police Department is taking action in the fight against the nationwide epidemic of opiate and heroin abuse, which is fueled by the abuse of prescription medication.


It is an important component of the New Jersey Attorney General’s efforts to stop the diversion and abuse of prescription drugs, including highly addictive opiate painkillers. We will continue to battle this epidemic to save lives, bring families back together, and make our community a safer place.


A Project Medicine Drop Box is located in Borough Hall, by the Police Department window. It is open 24/7. 

Naloxone is a life-saving medicine that rapidly reverses an opioid overdose. Known commonly by the brand name Narcan, it works as an opioid antagonist by attaching to brain receptors and blocking the effects of drugs like heroin, fentanyl, and prescription painkillers to restore normal breathing.

  • No Hate in the Garden State

    #NOHATENJ


    No Hate in the Garden State is a statewide campaign to raise public awareness about bias incidents and bias crimes, which target a protected status of the victim such as race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, or religion.


    In keeping with the Attorney General’s continued efforts to combat bias and hate, the Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ) developed the campaign in collaboration with the Division on Civil Rights (DCR). No Hate in the Garden State will educate the public on the resources available to victims of bias incidents and bias crimes and will use television, print, radio, digital, and social media messaging to increase public awareness of incidents of bias and hate, encourage the reporting of such incidents, and prevent future incidents. In addition to training sessions for law enforcement and victim services professionals, the campaign also includes more intensive direct training programs for educators, students, and parents in communities most affected by bias incidents. The educational events will be designed to help better identify, report, charge, and prosecute bias crimes.


    For full press release click here.


    What is a Bias Crime?

    In New Jersey, what is commonly called a “hate crime” is the crime of Bias Intimidation.[1]. A bias crime occurs when an offender commits a specific “predicate offense” with a purpose to intimidate a member of a protected class or with knowledge that the conduct would cause intimidation against a member of a protected class.

BOUND BROOK POLICE IS AN ACCREDITED AGENCY 

Accreditation demonstrates the strong culture that exists within the Bound Brook Police Department to provide superior service and community policing to the residents of Bound Brook based on identified best practices. In December of 2016 an assessment of the department was conducted by a team from the New Jersey Chiefs of Police Law Enforcement Accreditation Program. The Bound Brook Police Department was found to be in compliance with 105 standards in 5 separate functional areas: Personnel, Administration, Operations, Investigations, and Arrestee/Detainee/Prisoner Handling Functions. In striving to voluntarily meet these higher standards we hope to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to build a higher level of trust between the Department and those we serve.
