Administration

Chief Joseph Iacovitti

The main goal of the administrators is to ensure the safety of the citizens in the community, and strive to decrease crime through the development of strong relationships with the community. Conducting line operations, which are activities to serve the public, is an integral role of police administration. They will also collaborate with other law enforcement agencies at the local, state and federal level as needed.  Administrators must also communicate decisions to their reporting officers, and account for the actions of each member of the department. In addition the administrators are responsible for:

• Developing programs that will work to reduce criminal activities within the municipality.
• Working with the Township Manager for planning the budget for the Police Department.
• Interpreting codes, laws, and ordinances and upholding them at all times.
• Performing the day-to-day operations by preparing reports and conducting investigations.
• Managing the department, which includes hiring, assessing, and disciplining personnel and conducting training of police officers whenever necessary.
