The mission of the Chatham Township Police Department is to protect and serve all people without bias in an efficient and professional manner.
We will enhance the quality of life while instilling a sense of security within the community.
Members of the Chatham Township Police Department are aware that the manner in which we conduct ourselves while providing law enforcement services affects the public perception of our profession.
Our mission is a contract with the citizens we are sworn to protect, as well as an affirmation of their trust. Each employee is charged with protecting and promoting the essential elements of this contract.
We are 87 of your neighbors, men and women. Most of us live in Chatham Township and Chatham Borough. We range in age from students to retirees. We come from all professions. We have only three attributes in common: we are highly trained professional EMTs (or training to qualify), we are highly motivated to provide excellent care, and we want to serve our neighbors and our community, without tangible reward.
