What Lacey Township Police Department does

The Lacey Township Police Department (LTPD) is a municipal law enforcement agency operating under the Lacey Township government in Ocean County, New Jersey, with headquarters at 808 Lacey Road, Forked River. It provides 24/7 policing, emergency response, and community safety services to Lacey Township's three principal communities: Forked River, Lanoka Harbor, and Bamber Lake. The Patrol Division operates four squads totaling four Sergeants and twenty-eight Officers under Lt. McKee, supported by eight Public Safety Communicators in the Communications Bureau, handling over 40,000 calls annually. The Investigative Division, supervised by Captain Samuel Della Sala, encompasses the Detective Bureau, Drug Enforcement Unit, Special Enforcement Team, Property and Evidence, Internal Affairs, and Animal Cruelty investigations, with cross-agency coordination through the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office, FBI, ATF, and New Jersey State Police.

The department's service portfolio spans operational policing and an extensive community program suite. Operational technology includes a Body Worn Camera Program (launched February 2020, expanded September 2022), the NJ State Firearms Application & Registration System (FARS) under ORI# NJ0151200, the Citizens Online Reporting Tool for non-emergent incidents, CodeRed Reverse 9-1-1 emergency notifications via Onsolve, and RAVE/SMART-911 registry coordination with Ocean County Sheriff. Community programs include On P.O.I.N.T. (embedded social workers via Bright Harbor Healthcare since September 2020), the Blue Envelope Program for individuals with autism spectrum disorder, the Lacey Lock Box Program for seniors 55+ and residents with incapacitating medical conditions, the Public Safety Cadet Program (ages 14-21) in partnership with Ocean County Sheriff's Office, Coffee with a Cop events, and the No-Shave November fundraising campaign (over $35,000 raised since 2016).

LTPD is funded through Lacey Township tax revenue and the municipal budget, supplemented by nominal administrative fees (firearms permits at $5 for identification cards and $2 per handgun permit, police report copies at $0.05 per page, and a 2.95% credit card processing fee effective February 2024). The department is not a commercial enterprise and generates no market revenue; fee income is immaterial to total funding. The entity is governed as a public agency under the authority of the Chief of Police, with current Chief Paul Sullivan Jr. (appointed November 2025) also serving as Emergency Management Coordinator.
