Secaucus Police

What Secaucus Police does

Secaucus Police Department is the primary municipal law enforcement agency for the Town of Secaucus, a 6.6 square mile municipality in Hudson County, New Jersey, established as a regular police department in 1916 and currently led by Chief Dennis Miller, the 6th Chief, appointed in March 2020. The department operates 24/7 from a headquarters at 1203 Paterson Plank Road and an annex at 5000 Riverside Station Blvd, delivering patrol, detective, traffic, juvenile, records, humane law enforcement, internal affairs, training, and special event planning services. Specialized units include K-9 (with German Shepherd Brix trained at Bergen County Sheriff's Canine Academy), Marine Operations Bureau (an 18-foot Boston Whaler serving Hackensack River waterways integrated with the US Coast Guard task force), and an Unmanned Aerial Systems (drone) program led by a dedicated Chief Pilot.

The department's service portfolio is anchored in core public safety operations: 9-1-1 emergency response, criminal investigation and crime scene processing, proactive anti-crime and narcotics enforcement, traffic safety enforcement and crash investigation, school resource officer coverage at all Secaucus schools, and firearms permitting and regulation. It runs a broad community engagement layer including National Night Out, Junior Police Academy, L.E.A.D. drug prevention curriculum at grades 1, 3, 5, and 8, a Therapy Dog program, Blue Envelope autism accommodation program, Child Passenger Safety checks, and a 24/7 medication drop box. Technology integrations include NJ State Police FARS for firearms processing, NJ Concealed Carry Portal, CrashDocs, LexisNexis Police Reports, and CarFax, alongside a town-wide license plate reader system that has reduced crime and improved investigative efficiency.

As a municipal government entity, the department is funded through the Town of Secaucus municipal budget rather than commercial revenue; permit fees are nominal ($4-$150) and not material to funding. It holds NJSACOP accreditation, is the first PSAP-accredited communications bureau in New Jersey, and maintains inter-agency partnerships with the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office, FBI, US Coast Guard, Hudson County Regional SWAT, and neighboring municipal departments including North Bergen and Garfield. Operating status is active with no parent company, no venture or private equity ownership, and no subsidiaries.

Broad incumbents

• New Jersey State Police: The statewide law enforcement agency that provides primary police services outside municipal jurisdictions and serves as the umbrella law enforcement body coordinating with the Secaucus Police Department. Comparable as a peer police organization operating in the same state regulatory framework (NJSACOP, NJ FARS).
• Hudson County Sheriff's Office: The county-level law enforcement agency that provides specialized services (K-9 academy training for Secaucus's K-9 Brix) and tactical support (Hudson County Regional SWAT Team) to Secaucus. Comparable as a higher-tier law enforcement entity providing enabling services within the same operational geography.
• Jersey City Police Department: A larger New Jersey municipal police department in Hudson County that collaborates with Secaucus via joint investigations and counter-terrorism coordination. Comparable as a peer police organization, but with substantially greater scale and broader jurisdictional complexity.
• Newark Police Department: A large New Jersey municipal police department providing comprehensive municipal law enforcement including K-9, marine, and UAS-equivalent units. Comparable in operational categories but at substantially larger scale and complexity.
• NYPD (New York City Police Department): The largest U.S. municipal police department, recognized Secaucus for 9/11 response efforts. Comparable as a peer police organization, but at vastly different scale; useful as a benchmark for specialized unit structures and inter-agency coordination models.
