Patrol Division

Patrol Division

Patrol Division’s primary mission is protecting the welfare and safety of the approximately 45,000 people who reside within the township’s 42 square miles. Officers respond to approximately 80,000 calls for service a year ranging from first-aid to violent offender apprehension. They are responsible for traffic enforcement, motor vehicle crash investigations, initial criminal investigations, and a pro-active response to a multitude of calls for service that impact South Brunswick residents’ quality of life. Patrol Division is made up of Platoons A and B, and is currently staffed by 45 patrol officers, 12 sergeants, and 6 lieutenants.

The superior officers assigned to the Patrol Division are responsible for the direction, leadership and resource assignment of their officers to meet the township’s demands for public safety assistance. They are tasked with analyzing current incident trends for pattern crimes, traffic enforcement, and quality of life issues, and for developing directed patrol strategies to address these concerns. This analytical approach provides a more efficient response to the township’s public safety needs than a random patrol strategy.
