The Mantua police department is hitting the ground running under the new leadership of Chief William D. Murphy.

I’m proud to announce that two major initiatives are already underway as we continue our commitment to providing the highest level of public safety services to our residents.

First, Mantua has engaged the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP) to conduct a comprehensive Management and Operations Study of our department.
