With a patrol area of just under one square mile, we serve approximately 5000 residents and have roughly 1750 households. Our Department is comprised of 17 sworn Law Enforcement professionals including the Chief of Police plus 4 civilian dispatchers. Garwood affectionately refers to itself as a "small community with a big heart."
The Garwood Police Department, maintains order, preserves and protects the lives, peace and property of the citizens of Garwood by vigorously patrolling the Borough enforcing the laws of the State of New Jersey and the ordinances of the Borough of Garwood.
