Welcome to the Official New Jersey State Park Police Facebook Page.
The New Jersey State Park Police patrol and protect the State’s 54 Parks,
Forests and Recreation Areas which encompass an excess of 422,000 acres
and are visited by more than 17 million people each year.
We are a diverse group of men and women dedicated to safeguarding New
Jersey’s resources 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, through the prevention
of crime, apprehension of criminals and enforcement of criminal and motor
vehicle laws of the state, and enforcement of park regulations.
The New Jersey State Park Police are empowered with the same Law
Enforcement authority as all New Jersey municipal, county and state police
officers. We also deal with issues that other Law Enforcement
agencies deal with on a daily basis.
We respond to public safety emergencies as well as environmental
emergencies. Through various methods of patrol, including but not limited
to foot, bike, boat and motor, we provide courteous, professional,
knowledgeable assistance and services to the public at all times. The State
Park Police also give mutual aid assistance to municipal, county, state and
federal law enforcement agencies.
The New Jersey State Park Police is also part of the New Jersey Costal
Evacuation Plan for Cape May, Atlantic, Ocean and Monmouth Counties and
we assist with the UASI Region, Urban Areas Security Initiative, which supports
select high-threat, high-density urban areas in order to address their unique
multi-discipline planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise
needs in building and sustaining capabilities to prevent, protect against,
respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism.
It is the mission of the New Jersey State Park Police to protect the Natural and
Historic Treasures of our State Parks, Forests and Historic Sites, and the safety,
security and well being of all who visit them.
We are currently using the TriTech IMC (Perform) CAD System for our Dispatch and Records
Management.
