A message from the Police Chief

OFFICIAL from Chief Jason Cutler, on March 17, 2020

The Haddonfield Police Department is taking measures to ensure that the Haddonfield community, our officers and our civilian employees remain safe and healthy amid the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. Because of these health and safety concerns, and until further notice, we will be modifying non-emergency police responses and the methods we use to take police reports.

First, we ask that you refrain from physically coming to the Haddonfield Police Department unless you have a true emergency that needs to be addressed immediately. If you do come to the department, a phone is located outside the front door. This phone will connect you to the police dispatcher and they will coordinate with police supervisors to determine if there is an emergency that needs an officer response. If it is determined that an officer is not needed, you will be asked to leave your phone number and an officer will contact you shortly to take your report.

Second, all persons needing to make a police report or who need to discuss non-emergency matters are still encouraged to call (856) 429-3000 and speak with one of our dispatchers. If a police supervisor determines that it is not necessary for an officer to physically respond to take your report, we will still be more than happy to have an officer take your report over the phone and provide you with the same level of concern, professionalism and police service that we would during typical face-to-face contact.

Third, you may file or request a report using our online services by following the links below:

Please understand that these modifications are only temporary and will NOT impact the way that we respond to emergencies or high priority calls for service. Please still DIAL 9-1-1 in the event of a true emergency and our officers will respond with the same urgency as they normally do. This includes but is not limited to crimes in progress, incidents of domestic violence, motor vehicle accidents, and incidents where there is the potential for serious bodily injury or death.

These modifications are to help prevent unnecessary contact and interactions between people to help prevent the transmission of COVID-19 from person to person. We remain dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of all residents and visitors of Haddonfield and we will continue to provide you with the best police services possible moving forward. As always, we value the positive relationship we maintain with the members of the Haddonfield community and we thank you for your anticipated cooperation with these new procedures.
