About Us

The Patrol Division is the backbone of the Longport Police Department and provides emergency and non-emergency services 24-hours a day, 365 days a year. Patrol Officers are the first responders to calls for service requiring the presence of a police officer. These officers are responsible for the protection of life and property, the prevention and initial investigation of crimes, and the preservation of peace and order within the Borough. Officers accomplish this important task by maintaining constant patrols in their marked and unmarked patrol units, department motorcycle, bicycle, ATV’s, and on foot.
