This is an unofficial web site of the Jersey City Police Department. Jersey City lies on a peninsula between the Hudson and Hackensack rivers, and is situated directly across from New York City.
Jersey City is the county seat of Hudson County.
The Department serves an ethnically mixed community of 240,000 residents that live in a 14.80 square mile area. This number swells by at least 100,000 during the daytime due to the economic renaissance currently being experienced in Jersey City's business districts. Demographers predict that Jersey City will be the state's most populous city within the next few years. Although most of the country has expereinced decreases in crime, over the past few years members of the Jersey City Police Department have reduced crime by an unprecedented forty percent. It is through their hard work and dedication that this achievement was made possible.
