The Madison Police Department was
established in 1890. It was housed in various offices until the
borough bought the building at the corner of Elmer Street and Central
Avenue (currently the Yarn Shop), which served as a Police
Station.
In 1935 the Police Department
moved into the newly dedicated Hartley Dodge Memorial Building which was
given to the borough by Mrs. Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge as a memorial
to her son, Marcellus Hartley Dodge Jr.
Today the Madison Police
Department is still located inside the Hartley Dodge building awaiting
construction on the new Police and Fire Building, which will be located
at the corner of Prospect Street and Kings Road.
