The Mission of the Jersey City Police Department is to work in partnership with our fellow Jersey City citizens to enhance the quality of life in our City; to be open and sensitive to the public’s needs regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation; to dedicate ourselves continually to reassess our methods and technology to proactively reduce criminal activity, and to treat all people with the highest degree of respect and dignity.
The Jersey City Police Department consists of some 900 uniformed officers/superiors, 200 crossing guards, and 187 civilians dedicated to the safety of Jersey City's residents and visitors.
The force consists not of precincts, but four districts, the North, South, West and East. Prior to the Resonance the jurisdiction of Jersey City PD ranged in Manhattan as far as Hell's Kitchen. These day's that's been increased to all of Manhattan and Brooklyn. the North and East District's patrols spill into southern Manhattan to provide support to the NYPD, the two police forces working in conjunction.
