Achieving Transparency

The Newark Police Division is committed to transparency in its procedures and performance and seeks opportunities to engage with the community all while holding officers, supervisors, and administrators accountable for their conduct and performance. Policies have been published that guide the conduct of all police personnel. Additionally, it is the goal of the Newark Police Division to foster a true collaborative partnership through positive engagements, aimed at building trust between the Division and the community, and to promote safe communities by reducing crime, particularly violence. To achieve these goals, the Newark Police Division and its members approach all interactions with the public as opportunities to enhance the perception of law enforcement and build upon public trust. The NPD will fight crime more effectively as it improves training, increases supervision, and streamlines the disciplinary process. We hope the information here provides an understanding of the work the division is doing to highlight its commitment to protect and serve all those that visit, work and live in the City of Newark.
