"As The Chief of Police, I will remain committed to
increasing the visibility of officers on the streets throughout
East Orange. I will also encourage our citizens to become partners
with us in our crime prevention efforts. By working together to
prevent crime, we can ensure that East Orange is a safe community
in which to live, work and play. On behalf of the men and women of
the East Orange Police Department, I would like to welcome you to
our un-official website. In these pages you can learn more about
the many things that the East Orange Police Department does. Despite their
diversity, all of our activities are aimed at just one goal: making the City of
East Orange a better and safer place for all of the thousands of people who
live, work, or visit here. Towards this goal, the Police Department is
continually trying to build better relationships with all of the many
communities that we serve. The very best relationships are built on
understanding, and it is the aim of these pages to help you to understand us and
our work better. The East Orange Police Department has a
long history of being a leader in the field of innovation as it
pertains to law enforcement. The creation of this website is
another step in our efforts to improve communication with the
community by keeping you informed as to activities and items of
interest. Please feel free to
email
me... we welcome your comments and
suggestions. I hope you find the EOPD website to be beneficial, informative and
enjoyable. Like each of the 340 men and women who wear our uniform and serve in
civilian functions, I am very proud to be a member of the East Orange Police
Department. We know the EOPD is the utmost police department in America, and one
of the finest law enforcement agencies in the world.
Sincerely,
Michael Cleary
Chief of Police
"The success of the East Orange
Police Department is dependent on a shared vision. In order to
create an environment in which our employees are proud to work, it
is vital that we encourage open communication, individual
responsibility, cooperation and respect among the various divisions within the
department. Through this positive interaction we will uphold and promote the
essence of Esprit De Corps. We will strive to be a highly
regarded professional organization. We will forge a partnership with
the community through trust, honesty and integrity. We will respect the rights and
dignity of all individuals. Through a process of continuous
improvement we will plan for a future enhanced by technology,
education and training, remaining open to new ideas and concepts
in law enforcement".
"The partnership between the
community and the police is built on mutual trust. It is also
built on years of hard work, community meetings, and late night
planning sessions. We have worked hard to gain each other's
confidence. This, however, must continue to be a cooperative
effort. The citizens of the community and members of the East
Orange Police Department must continue to work as partners in
order to protect our children, our seniors, and to build stronger
neighborhoods. The East Orange Police Department is committed to
strengthening the fundamental bonds of cooperation and support
with the citizens that we have sworn to protect. We believe the
community has a major stake in determining how it should receive
police services. To ensure the highest quality of life we will
take an active role in the community to encourage open lines of
communication. Therefore we will foster a true partnership with
the community, striving towards obtaining community input in how
we provide and deliver police services".
