About the Police Department
The Madison
Police Department, comprised of 36 sworn officers, 1 Parking
Enforcement personnel, 3 Confidential Secretaries and the
Auxiliary Police, is responsible
for the safety and protection of its citizens. Comprised of four divisions, Patrol Division, Investigative Division,
Traffic
Safety Division and the Emergency Service Unit, the Police Department responds to all calls for
assistance, including fire and emergency medical assistance, and
Homeland Security concerns.
The Police Department serves as the
public answering point for all 911 calls within the Borough of
Madison. Whenever a resident
calls 911, the telephone will be answered by Madison Police
personnel who will then dispatch the associated emergency response units. The
Police Department responds to all 911 emergencies.
The Madison Police
Department also oversees Project Community Pride of Southeast Morris
County. This is a youth diversion and counseling program, which
encompasses Madison, Chatham Borough and Florham Park. This program
currently has available social and bilingual social workers to assist the
youth
and families in these communities whenever a crisis may occur in the
household or when youth are involved with law enforcement. It is used as
a diversion program from the county criminal justice system.
After 4:00 p.m. and on
weekends, the Police Communication desk handles all calls for emergency
assistance in the Borough, including water, electric and sewer.
In the event of an
emergency, all residents are urged to call 911 or the Madison Police
Department at (973) 593-3000.
