The Hackensack Police Department prioritizes community safety and service, extending to all, regardless of age, race, religion, or sexual orientation. We echo Martin Luther King, Jr.’s message: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

Our mission encompasses public safety promotion, crime prevention and investigation, emergency and non-emergency service provision, building strong community partnerships, problem-solving through a multi-disciplinary approach, and nurturing a diverse, professional workforce.

In collaboration with the community, we dedicate our resources to create a secure environment, free from crime and fear, while maintaining order and promoting swift traffic flow. Our core values are integrity, respect, service, and fairness.
