Not everyone who makes a difference in a Police Department wears a uniform.
Some are the people behind the scenes, making sure records are accurate, paperwork gets where it needs to go and residents get the assistance they're looking for.
And right now, we're looking for one of those people!
The Bordentown Township Police Department is hiring a full-time Police Aide, a civilian position that works closely with our officers, detectives, municipal court and the public.
This is an opportunity to be part of a dedicated law enforcement team without being a sworn police officer.
What does the position offer?
• Annual salary of $55,000–$65,000, depending on qualifications
• 35-hour workweek, with Fridays ending at noon
• NJ Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) pension
• Medical, prescription and dental benefits
• Paid vacation, sick and personal days, plus municipal holidays
• Training and certification on criminal justice systems
Applicants must have at least five years of clerical, office or records experience, a high school diploma or equivalent, proficiency with Microsoft Office and database entry, and a valid NJ driver's license. Police or law enforcement records experience is strongly preferred.
If you're ready to bring your skills to a position where your work supports both public safety and our community, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply by October 31, 2026.
Send your cover letter, resume and completed municipal employment application to FLombardo@btownpd.us.

EVERY GREAT COMMUNITY STARTS WITH A CONVERSATION.
And we want you to be part of ours, Bordentown!
What do you love about living here? What could use a little attention? What would make Bordentown Township an even better place to call home?
Sometimes the best ideas come from everyday conversations with neighbors, friends and family. The things we talk about over coffee, at the playground, on a walk or around the dinner table.
Well, we want to hear those conversations, too!
Our Master Plan Survey is LIVE, and we're asking residents to share their thoughts about where we are today and where we'd like to go tomorrow.
You don't need to be an expert. You don't need to have all the answers. You just need about 10 minutes and a few thoughts about the community you call home.

Meet the Scammers. All eight of them.
Our detectives hear about these same scams every week, so for Cybersecurity Awareness Month we're putting them on the record. Two at a time, every week this month.
Start with one rule: no police department, court, bank, or government agency will ever ask you to pay with gift cards, bitcoin, a wire transfer, or cash handed to someone at your door. Ever. Once that money's gone, it's gone.
Something feel off? Call us first. Bordentown Township Police: 609-298-4300.
👀 WHAT SHOULD GO NEXT, BORDENTOWN?
Safer roads? More sidewalks and walking paths? Better traffic flow? More green spaces? New places to gather with friends and neighbors?
Or maybe something completely different?

Well, here's your chance to finish that sentence!
Our Master Plan Survey is LIVE, and we want to hear your thoughts on what Bordentown Township should look like in the years ahead.

The City of Bordentown Water Department will be conducting its fall hydrant flushing, and while crews are working in your neighborhood, you may temporarily notice cloudy or discolored water or lower water pressure. This is normal during flushing and should clear once the work is complete.
If your water is discolored, run your cold water for several minutes until it runs clear, and hold off on doing laundry until it does.
Hydrant flushing is an important part of maintaining the water system. It helps clear sediment from water mains, maintain water quality and make sure hydrants are working properly when they’re needed.
Swipe for the full schedule and affected Township neighborhoods. ➡️
If your water does not clear after running the cold water for several minutes, please contact the City of Bordentown Water Department at 609-298-0604, option 1.
Thanks in advance for your patience while this important maintenance is completed throughout our community!
