Welcome to Little Egg Harbor Police Department

The Little Egg Harbor Police Department has joined the "Blue Envelope" program.  This program is all about making our interactions with individuals on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) smoother and more supportive during traffic stops or motor vehicle interactions. What is the Blue Envelope Program?  It is a special tool designed to ensure clear and respectful communication between individuals with ASD and our officers.  Inside, you will find all the important documents you need for a traffic stop:  Driver's License, Registration, Insurance Card and Emergency Contact.   The envelope includes easy-to-follow instructions printed on the front making the interaction easy between the individual and the police officers.  The Blue Envelope also lets us know if the individual is verbal or non-verbal, ensuring we communicate in the best way possible. If you or your loved would benefit from this program, please stop by and pick up a Blue Envelope at the Little Egg Harbor Police Department, Records Office, 665 Radio Road, or by contacting Sgt. James Fehring with the Community Services Unit 609-296-3666 ext. 695. Click here to view the Blue Envelope - autistic spectrum  

The Little Egg Harbor Police Department has partnered with the On P.O.I.N.T. (Proactive Outreach In Needs and Treatment) Program, which provides for social workers on-site every Thursday at Little Egg Harbor Police Headquarters (665 Radio Road).  This program was developed to address the high volume of mental health, substance abuse and social service related calls and incidents that utilize a considerable volume of police and emergency resources.  For more information on this program, please visit the Bright Harbor Healthcare website. At Bright Harbor Healthcare, they believe in building strong, healthy, safe communities.

In accordance with New Jersey Attorney General Directive 2021-5, the Little Egg Harbor Police Department is hereby providing public notice that the Little Egg Harbor Police Department deploys Body Worn Camera technology for use by uniformed, and at times, plainclothes officers. This technology is invaluable to serve and protect our public as well as serving to protect our officers. The captured video has tremendous evidentiary and training value as well as protecting the integrity and the transparency of the Little Egg Harbor Police Department. Generally, a Body Worn Camera (BWC) will be mounted in the chest area on an officer’s outermost garment. Pictures of the device currently in use, as well as a picture depicting the usual placement on an officer’s body, are shown below. For more information on BWC regulations, please refer to New Jersey Attorney General Directive 2021-5, which can be found on the New Jersey Office of Attorney General website (www.njoag.gov).
