Paramus, NJ — A century of service is a milestone few can claim, but the Paramus Police Department (PPD) has officially crossed that threshold, celebrating 101 years of unwavering dedication to the Borough of Paramus.
From its humble beginnings in the “Celery Capital of the World” to overseeing one of the busiest retail and healthcare hubs in the United States, the PPD’s journey is a testament to resilience, adaptation, and community-first policing.
