The Washington Township Police Department is an thirteen member force patrolling an area of 18.9 square miles and serving a population of roughly 7,000 people. We are located in the central part of Warren County, New Jersey.

We have thirteen officers and one civilian police clerk. Our patrol fleet consists of 8 marked patrol vehicles and 2 unmarked vehicles. Two of the marked patrol vehicles are SUV's equipped with 4-wheel drive.

Of the twelve officers in the patrol division:

• one is assigned (full-time) as a detective;
• one is assigned (full-time) to our K-9 unit;
• three are (part-time) members of our County's multi-jurisdictional tactical response team; and
• four are (part-time) members of our County's multi-jurisdictional Serious Accident Analysis Response Team.

Washington Township Police Officers are also tasked with providing security at the Washington Office of the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission. This coverage is paid for through a State Homeland Security Grant.

Proof of ID/Address

To help prevent fraud, the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) verifies the identity of every permit, license and non-driver ID applicant before establishing his or her identity on the MVC database.

Specific documents must be used to apply for or renew permits, licenses and non-driver ID cards. Under State law, applicants must identify themselves through MVC’s 6 Point ID program, and verify their address, at EACH stage of the process

MVC has created a 6 Point ID “Quick Picker” to help motorists determine if the point value of their documents is at least six (6). To meet state law, the point total must always be at least 6 points. Tabulate your points here. This ID verification program also requires non-U.S. citizens to prove that they are authorized to be in this country under federal law. Documents that may be used to verify this authorization are worth up to four (4) points.

New Jersey does not issue driver licenses to applicants who cannot prove they are legally authorized to be in this country.
