Ridgewood NJ, on January 1, 1983 the New Jersey Transit Police Department was created with 36 police officers who came from the Conrail Police Department. These transferees needed to protect NJ TRANSIT’s infrastructure from vandalism and theft.
We are now celebrating our 39th anniversary. The New Jersey Transit Police Department’s mission today is to maintain public order and safety while deterring and preventing terrorism and crime throughout the NJ TRANSIT system.
The New Jersey Transit Police Department’s commitment to exceptional public service is the foundation for leading the Department’s relentless crime prevention and suppression efforts.
Thank you for sharing this. My father, Hans Hempel, is the police office on the far left. He went on to become a Captain of NJT.
