On behalf of your Perth Amboy Police Department, I welcome you to our website.
Allow me to introduce myself, Benjamin Ruiz Acting Chief and Leader of the fine group of Men & Women who proudly serve you each and every day. Preventing crime while putting Community first, utilizing the tenets of Community Minded Policing, this is our Mission. I ask that you take some time to explore our site and read about our current programs and priorities.
I encourage Police Department members and our residents to build healthy relationships, to be more transparent and to be at ease in discussing a broad range of issues facing our Community. By listening to others and hearing feedback on how our Department is providing critical police services, I am hopeful we can all be more invested in making our Community safer. The relationships that develop and the problem solving activities that occur help to reduce crime and improve the livability of our neighborhoods. Being your neighbor, living within our Community provides me with a unique perspective. I encourage you to contact us at any time to discuss your questions, concerns, comments. I pledge to listen to my Community.
Together we can continue to enjoy a quality of life second to none, making Perth Amboy a wonderful place to live, work and enjoy.
The Perth Amboy Police Department is always seeking to increase diversity throughout our agency. We are looking for talented officers who are committed to a community policing philosophy and want to serve in our community. We offer the opportunity to develop your skills in a variety of assignments and use your problem solving skills to make a difference. We are a Civil Service Agency, so please refer to the Civil Service Commission website for updates.
