Frequently Asked Questions

Business hours are from 8:30am - 2:30pm on weekdays. The front desk is staffed by the records clerk. Outside of business hours, please pick up the red phone next to the front entrance and you will automatically be connected to dispatch.

Borough residents and business owners are welcome to come to our headquarters ( 35 Fisk Street) and have fingerprints taken on their own fingerprint cards at anytime, free of charge. We do not take appointments for fingerprints. Please also be advised that as we can not possibly foresee how busy our officers may be, we can not guarantee officer availability. Those wishing to have their fingerprints taken may be subject to a short wait or have the option of coming back at a later time.

The Police Department depends on citizens calling to report crimes or suspicious activity. The dispatcher who takes your call will ask questions about the activity to determine its nature and ask for descriptions of the people involved. You may be asked if an officer or detective may contact you but you may refuse. IF IT SEEMS SUSPICIOUS - REPORT IT. We would rather check out five harmless situations then miss one crime about to happen.

You can come to the police station at any time to file a report. The on-duty dispatcher will take some initial information and a patrol officer will come in to take your report. There may be a slight wait depending on the activity at the time; however, the dispatcher will inform you of any time delay. To save time, you may print and fill out a Statement of Facts sheet prior to arriving to the police station.

The Police Department will respond 24 hours a day, seven days a week to requests for police assistance.

Traffic citations are processed through the Borough Office located at 748 River Road.
