The Township of Saddle Brook hires officers for its Police Department under the rules and regulations of the NJ Civil Service Commission (NJCSC). These rules require a written examination which is given periodically by the State. It should also be noted that the most recent hires have been through the NJCSC Intergovernmental Transfer Program. Information on this program and testing is available on their web site ( http://www.state.nj.us.csc ). We do not maintain applications for employment or resumes at the police department.
