Recent Change with Police Dispatch Services
The Borough of Paulsboro Police Department has (as of January 1, 2002) changed our Dispatch service from a local base to a County (central) base system. In plain terms you still dial 423-1100 for non-emergency police service and 991 for emergency service. There have also been some small changes in the method of contact for conducting police business at the station. We are also in the process of physical change to upgrade and modernize technically and procedurally to provide you with the best service practical. In the interim, this will not affect your ability to obtain police services. We have provided a table below to help instruct you should you need police services.
