ABOUT OUR DEPARTMENT: 

The Carlstadt  Police Department is seeking qualified candidates to become a Dispatcher. We are looking for bright, energetic men and women who are up to the challenge to be their best. Since the Borough of Carlstadt was founded in June of 1894, there has always been a need for police to keep the peace. Like any other organization in America, there is always someone in charge and the Carlstadt Police Department is no different. In 1907, Charles Schmidt was the first police chief appointed by the borough. Since this time there have been many changes in technology and laws that have helped to shape the police department into what it has become today, and we will continue to grow and expand our skills under our current Chief, Thomas Cox.

Our Mission:

The Carlstadt Police Department is at all times committed to the utmost professionalism in providing police services to the community and each person falling within its jurisdiction, enforcing the law objectively, with leadership and integrity, executing their duties with a spirit of cooperation and courtesy , employing always a solution‐focused approach to protect and serve while continuously striving for excellence.
