We also employ several specialty units to provide the most efficient and beneficial law enforcement and emergency services to the residents and visitors of Morris County:

-Patrol Division: Uniformed vehicular patrol is the primary function of the Morris County Park Police Department, so every Officer is first assigned to, and always considered part of, the Patrol Division, which is under the supervision of Lt. Christopher List. Both four-wheel drive S.U.V.s and sedans are utilized for this function. Patrol vehicles are equipped with Panasonic Toughbook mobile computer systems, radars (including LiDAR for some), mobile video recorders (M.V.R.), radio communication systems capable of communicating with all Morris County Law Enforcement agencies, Lo-Jack systems, etc. Unmarked vehicular patrols and plainclothes foot-patrol operations are also conducted.

-Detective Bureau: Four Detectives comprise the Detective Bureau, one assigned to each patrol squad, under the supervision of Det. Lt. Steven Ferraioli. Detectives investigate crimes and offenses, conduct any other follow-up investigations needed, and provide support services to the Patrol Unit, including the collecting and logging of evidence and property. Pro-active investigations, such as plainclothes narcotics enforcement, are also conducted. Detectives also perform background investigations on all police officer recruits and for Alternate Route candidates at the Morris County Police Academy. Detectives are also assigned to many administrative functions: discovery requests from court, expungements, O.P.R.A. requests, police report releases, public affairs and information duties, internal affairs investigations, Terminal Agency Coordinator (TAC) function, etc.

-A.T.V. Unit: Many Officers are also members of the A.T.V. Unit, which is under the supervision of Sgt. Jason Parrillo. We maintain four A.T.V.s that are used for search and rescue operations, special events, and patrol of areas inaccessible by other police vehicles. Three A.T.V. Unit members are also certified instructors.

-Marine Unit: Six Officers are also members of the Marine Unit, which is under the supervision of Sgt. Robert Kranz. We maintain one police boat that is utilized to patrol Lake Hopatcong, in a joint enforcement cooperation with the New Jersey State Police and Sussex County during seasonal times.

We maintain many all-terrain vehicles and equipment acquired from the U.S. Military at little or no cost, that can be used during or after natural or man-made disasters, or other catastrophes.
