​​COURT BUREAU

The Court Bureau serves Hudson County's main courthouse, as well as satellite courthouses, state & county Probation, and Support Enforcement Division.

 

The Court Bureau is responsible for the day-to-day security and operations of the Hudson County Superior Court. Officers assigned to judicial functions perform these services while maintaining a secure and professional profile. In addition to security functions, these officers ensure that parties to actions, lawyers, and witnesses are present when the court is in session. A major function of the court officers is the secure transportation of prisoners to and from the courts.

 

The Hudson County Sheriff’s Office also maintains a Security Guard division to assist with security screening at the entrances to the main judicial complex as well as the satellite courthouses.

DETECTIVE BUREAU

The Detective Bureau serves one of the most critical functions in law enforcement: the investigation of criminal offenses. Through the use of traditional investigative methods, as well as the latest technological resources, detectives primarily conduct investigations into all major crimes that are committed within Hudson County. Their main objective is to gather information to successfully identify, apprehend, and prosecute criminal offenders.

 

They are also responsible for the service and apprehension of fugitive arrest warrants issued by the Superior Court. The Detective Bureau is also tasked with extraditing felons from other states back into the State of New Jersey. Working hand-in-hand with all state and local agencies, the Detective Bureau forms a positive relationship that helps lead toward the common goal of suppression of criminal activity in Hudson County and surrounding jurisdictions.

​​9-1-1 CENTER

For any and all emergencies, including police, fire, or medical emergencies, dial 9-1-1.

To report a non-emergency crime that did not just occur or a nuisance activity, use the non-emergency number: (201) 915-1300.

​

The 9-1-1 Call Center is the direct link between citizens and the county’s emergency response services. The dispatchers screen and handle all calls for service and provide support for all field operations. Dispatchers must be able to field hundreds of incoming calls each day, determine the best course of action, and forward that information to the appropriate resource. The Hudson County Sheriff's Office provides 9-1-1 intake and dispatch services for all unincorporated areas of Hudson County, twelve law enforcement municipalities, seven fire/rescue municipalities, and numerous special patrol areas, including county courts and facilities.

WEIGHTS & MEASURES

The Division of Weights & Measures is a local enforcement agency. Our inspectors use highly accurate equipment to inspect scales, meters, scanning equipment, and packaged products. They inspect a wide range of businesses, including supermarkets, gasoline stations, packing plants, and lumber yards. For more information, call (201)369-4323.

 

Hudson County Weights & Measures officials work to keep the marketplace honest by using highly accurate equipment to inspect scales, meters, scanning equipment, gasoline station pumps, and lumber yards throughout the county. Weighing or measuring devices are not permitted to be used for commercial purposes unless they are registered with the Office of Weights and Measures. Because of the inspections and investigations conducted by the men and women of Weights and Measures, New Jersey consumers can have confidence when shopping. However, consumers should also pay attention when making purchases. Small, seemingly insignificant errors can add up.
