THE OFFICE

Helping our Community Thrive

The Phillipsburg Police Department is the lead law enforcement entity for the Town of Phillipsburg. The Police Department patrols an area of 3.2 square miles and a population according to the most recent Census data of approximately 15,000 citizens (www.census.gov ). The Phillipsburg Police Department draws upon over 250 years experience serving the public and despite challenging economic times continues to reduce crime and increase the quality of life for citizens, business owners, and visitors.

 

While the Police Department has different divisions (patrol, detective, etc.) within the organization, one focus of all officers and personnel is the dedication to protecting and serving the public. We hope you learn more about our police department and contact us with any questions.
