Services
 

The Bordentown Township Police Department offers various community programs for the residents within the Township. We strive to offer our community the best police service we can with all of our resources.

D.A.R.E (Drug Resistance Education):

This is a national program that focuses on the health, social and legal risks as well as the short and long term consequences of drug abuse. We have two trained D.A.R.E. officers in our agency who teach in our elementary schools. D.A.R.E. is presented to the 6^th grade students at the Peter Muschal School. Drug awareness information including the identification of drugs and the signs and systems for their use is available to parents.

Fingerprinting:

Fingerprinting is offered to residents free of charge to all Township residents or employees/employers within the Township. We offer fingerprinting to all sporting organizations within the community through the Volunteer Review Operation, (VRO), and program.

Kidcare ID:

This is an emergency identification program for children that are endorsed by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. This program provides parents with a photo/identification booklet that can be presented to emergency personnel should a child become lost or missing.

Child Passenger Seat Safety Program:

This safety program is available to parents who have children that must use car seats. This program ensures that the child seat meets the Federal Safety Standards. Officers are trained in the installation and inspection of the seat and offers instruction to the parents in the proper installation to ensure that their children are properly fitted with the child seat being utilized. Loaner seats are available from the Police Department should an inspected seat be determined unsafe.

Project Childsafe:

This agency has gunlocks available to Township residents free of charge through this program.

Firearms:

This agency has three qualified firearms instructors. Part of their duties is the processing of permits to purchase firearms applications. We also urge any resident that has old firearms/ ammunition that they wish to discard to contact the firearms unit. The officers will make arrangements to assist the residents in the proper disposal of any firearm and or ammunition.

Community Policing Unit:

Within this unit is a Juvenile Liaison Officer to the Bordentown Regional School District and the County of Burlington. This officer is available to provide guidance as needed to juveniles and assists the schools with any problems that they may encounter. Also within this unit is the agency’s Bike Patrol Officer. This unit works at community events as sporting events, and the 4^th of July festivities and also does regular patrol work.
