The Hackensack Police Department stands in solidarity with our community and with the people across the country over the senseless death of George Floyd at the hands of police officers in Minnesota. The excessive and criminal acts of the Minneapolis officers are in no way a reflection of our agency, nor is it a reflection of law enforcement in general.

Our priority is the safety of all of our community members regardless of age, race, religion, or sexual orientation. Our goal continues to focus on serving the community. On behalf of the department, our message to the public is this: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” –Martin Luther King, Jr.

To promote public safety; to prevent, suppress and investigate crimes; to provide emergency and non-emergency services; to create and maintain strong community partnerships; To adopt a multi-disciplinary approach to solving community problems; and to develop and promote a diverse, professional workforce.

The Hackensack police department will commit its resources in partnership with the community to promote a safe and secure environment, free from crime and the fear of crime, to maintain order and provide for the safe and expeditious flow of traffic while practicing our core values of integrity, respect, service, and fairness.
