The Madison Police Department, comprised of 30 sworn officers, 3 Dispatchers, 1 Parking Enforcement personnel, 2 Confidential Secretaries and the Auxiliary Police, is responsible for the safety and protection of its citizens. Comprised of four divisions, Patrol Division, Investigative Division, Traffic Safety Division and the Emergency Service Unit, the Police Department responds to all calls for assistance, including fire and emergency medical assistance, and Homeland Security concerns. The Police Department serves as the public answering point for all 9-1-1 calls within the Borough of Madison. Whenever a resident calls 9-1-1, the telephone will be answered by Madison Police personnel who will then dispatch the associated emergency response units. The Police Department responds to all 9-1-1 emergencies. The Madison Police Department also oversees Project Community Pride of Southeast Morris County. This is a youth diversion and counseling program, which encompasses Madison, Chatham Borough and Florham Park. This program currently has available social and bilingual social workers to assist the youth and families in these communities whenever a crisis may occur in the household or when youth are involved with law enforcement. It is used as a diversion program from the county criminal justice system.

After 4:00 p.m. and on weekends, the Police Communication desk handles all calls for emergency assistance in the Borough, including water, electric and sewer.

In the event of an emergency, all residents are urged to call 9-1-1 or the Madison Police Department at (973) 593-3000.

Madison Police Department Open House A Success!

The Madison Police Department hosted an open house on  Saturday June 26, 2010 and welcomed over 500 visitors.  Tours were given to groups showing the many different areas of the building.  Visitors viewed areas such as the state of the art dispatch center, muster room, evidence room, detention area and sally port.  Officers gave talks outlining the functions of each rooms and viewed evidence ranging from assault rifles to drugs taken in during arrests.  The Emergency Services Unit gave hands on demonstration of various weapons and equipment used by the members.  At the conclusion of the tour,  the groups were treated with ice cream; a great way to cool off during a hot and sunny day!  For photos of the event, click on the "open house" link on the navigation bar to the right.
