By fostering meaningful partnerships with the public, the department enhances both the safety and the quality of life for East Windsor residents.


Leadership and Operational Oversight

The Chief of Police, along with the administrative staff, is responsible for developing and implementing comprehensive public safety plans. These plans are guided by data-driven strategies to address crime trends and public concerns.

The Administrative Division supports the department's mission through a wide array of essential functions, including:

  • Budgeting and financial management
  • Grant acquisition and administration
  • Procurement and billing
  • Human resources and payroll
  • Fleet and facilities maintenance
  • Policy development and accreditation

  • Crime analysis
  • FOIA request processing
  • Technology oversight
  • Recruitment and hiring
  • Community outreach
  • Professional Standards (internal affairs)
  • Public information management
  • Special projects
  • Daily executive leadership of the agency

By coordinating closely with other town departments, local organizations, and regional, state, and federal partners, the Administrative Division ensures that department resources are used effectively, transparently, and in alignment with the department’s mission and values.

Our overarching goal is to provide the highest standard of public service—while maintaining a deep commitment to the community, our personnel, and the safety of all those we serve.


ANCILLARY FUNCTION: Professional Responsibility

The East Windsor Police Department holds itself to the highest standards of integrity, accountability, and professionalism. The Office of Professional Standards, also referred to as Internal Affairs, plays a vital role in upholding these standards.

Under the direction of the Operations Commander—currently the Deputy Chief of Police and reporting directly to the Chief—this office is responsible for receiving, investigating, and resolving complaints regarding the conduct or performance of department personnel, both sworn and civilian.

This unit also conducts internal inspections to ensure continued compliance with departmental policies and the law. Maintaining community trust depends on our ability to address concerns fairly, transparently, and respectfully.

Citizens are encouraged to bring forward both commendations and complaints. These can be submitted to any on-duty supervisor, in person, by mail, or via this webpage. Once submitted, an assigned investigator will follow up directly with the individual.

Additionally, the Chief of Police or Deputy Chief of Police may be contacted directly with any concerns.
