Body Worn Cameras

In April 2021, the Randolph Township Police Department will proudly join the growing ranks of law enforcement agencies that deploy body worn cameras on police officers. These cameras will be utilized in accordance with the guidelines established by the New Jersey Attorney General and the Morris County Prosecutor's Office.

This new technology will help us enhance and improve our relationship with our citizens. We believe that effective policing is achieved through our strong partnerships with all of our community stake holders.
