Welcome to the official website of the North Bergen Police Department. On February 1st, 2024, I became the 11th police chief in the history of our department. Throughout my tenure, I have witnessed the value of proactive transparency, and recognize how imperative it remains that we continue to reassess and build upon our partnership with our community. Like my predecessors, I will strive to lead the officers of our department to be an accessible component of our community while maintaining their competency, transparency, and professionalism.
We continue to benefit from the unwavering support of Mayor Nicholas J. Sacco, Public Safety Commissioner Allen Pascual, and the Board of Commissioners for the Township of North Bergen. It is that support that has ensured our officers receive the necessary training, resources, equipment, and guidance to be successful and safe while enhancing public safety and the quality of life for all our residents and visitors.
As a life-long resident of North Bergen, I look forward to carrying on the legacy of my grandfather, and my father, who both achieved the rank of Deputy Chief. As I am vested in our community, I especially value the perspectives of our citizens. While policing has continued to evolve according to the needs of the citizens it serves, we need to continue to capitalize on the benefits of embracing technology and innovation to ensure our residents continue to be heard. As our workforce is truly representative of the community that it serves, it is that collective dialogue that continues to strengthen our community relations.
I am proud to serve this diverse community, and look forward to continued collaboration with our community to deliver proactive, efficient, and professional services to prioritize public safety and quality of life for the residents of the Township of North Bergen.
Very truly yours,
Robert J. Farley, Jr.
Chief of Police
