Chief's Message

To serve the borough of Woodcliff Lake for 24 years has been an honor. I was appointed Chief of Police on January 1,2024 and have been a member of the Police Department since 2001. I have had the privilege to work with the finest men and women in law enforcement who are dedicated to serving our community. The Woodcliff Lake Police Department is proudly, a fully accredited agency through the New Jersey State Chiefs of Police Association. Our department is committed to providing a professional policing service based on education, training and compassion. We have, and always will, provide the highest level of community service to keep our borough safe, while remaining fiscally responsible. As you go over the website, you will be introduced to the many areas, services, and programs that your police department has to offer you. 

As our department continues to grow, we remain committed to adapting to each new challenge that we are faced with. We shall never lose focus of our mission and goals which are to keep our community as safe as possible. Our officers pride themselves on being members of the community to which they serve and truly appreciate the support that they receive from the community in return. 

I would like to remind all residents to follow the Woodcliff Lake Police Department on Instagram, X, Facebook and to also sign up for our RAVE alerts to keep informed. Please also remain vigilant at all times and assist us by reporting any suspicious activity or crimes that you may see to our department immediately.
