Thank you for visiting our web site. The
Bridgewater Township Police Department was established in July 1965,
and the PBA in 1967. We currently have 77 sworn officers assigned to
the department.
We take great pride in serving
approximately 250,000 people a day, (this includes residents,
business owners, and all who travel through Bridgewater Township),
and patrol an area of over 34 square miles.
The members of PBA 174 take an
active role in the community. Each year we raise money for the NJ
Special Olympics by participating in the Annual Torch Run. We also
assist in setting up funds for those in need and less fortunate. In
addition we support scholarship funds.
The PBA, with the assistance from
the Township Administration and Police Department, has established a
Police Honor Guard. The Honor Guard serves at funeral details and
ceremonial functions.
The PBA has members who
participate in the Annual Police Unity Tour. This tour raises money
to help maintain the Law Enforcement Police Memorial in Washington,
DC, a memorial dedicated to fallen police officers.
This site was made possible
through the hard work and dedication of its members. We hope that
you will find the website interesting and informative. We will
continue to update this site to keep you, the public, informed.
Sincerely,
John Mitzak
President, PBA #174
