The axiom “knowledge is Power” is as true today as it was when Sir Francis Bacon wrote it four hundred years ago.
I am pleased to introduce the Bergenfield Police Department’s first website. Designed as a tool that can be easily used to help build your knowledge and increase your power over threats to your safety, our website contains sections on Quick Facts, Crime Updates, Tips for Crime Prevention, Most Wanted, Headlines, and Alerts.
It also has links to websites for D.A.R.E, Tri-Community CrimeStoppers, and the NJ State Police "Megan's Law" Registered Sex Offender database. You can obtain information about the police department's history, current rank and structure, latest crime trends and other events. We encourage you to sign up to NIXLE and Twitter to receive Text Message and Email alerts about emergency situations, traffic situations/detours, Missing Child or Endangered Person Alerts and community messages from the Police Department and the Borough of Bergenfield. There is also a section entitled: Just for Kids.
We in law enforcement strive constantly to improve our methods of crime prevention. Crime prevention ultimately starts with education, and all of the members of the Bergenfield Police Department hope that you will use this website to increase your knowledge about what is happening in Bergenfield and in the surrounding communities.
We rely on the public to be alert to possible crime, to report crimes in progress and to take prudent steps in protecting themselves and their families. It is my hope that your visit to this site will help you become a better informed and more active citizen. Please take some time to explore our website. Your feedback is important to us. Let us know what we can do to better serve you.
