Oradell PBA

The Oradell Police Department would like to congratulate our newest officer on being sworn into PBA Local 206 this evening. Officer Joyce will be attending the Bergen County Police Academy in July. We wish Officer Joyce the best of luck at the academy and throughout his law enforcement career.

Congratulations to our new member, Officer Briggs on his graduation from the Bergen County Police Academy! After several months of rigorous training and hard work, he is now ready to begin his career in law enforcement serving the Borough of Oradell.

On behalf of the Oradell Police Department please join us in welcoming Officer Briggs #61 to the department and wishing him success in his career.

This past Thursday, the Oradell Police Department, Oradell Emergency Management (OEM), Oradell Fire Department, and Oradell Oradell Public School (OPS), along with Bergen County Office of Emergency Management OEM, worked together on a full-scale evacuation exercise to relocate students and staff to a reunification site.

This exercise is part of our contingency action plan, which was developed to better prepare for emergency incidents throughout the borough, not just those involving OPS.

Participating agencies included the Paramus Police Department New Milford NJ Police Department, Westwood Police Department, Emerson Police Department, Bergen County Sheriff's Office and Washington Township Police.

This is an example of our ongoing commitment to training, preparedness, and finding new ways to protect and serve our residents.

Thank you to all of the assisting agencies for their support and partnership.

The Oradell Police Department was once again privileged to participate in this year’s New Jersey Chief for a Day program and spend a memorable day with our 2026 Chief for a Day, Emmie Jablonski.

Chief Emmie's day began with a ride in an Oradell Fire Truck with a police es**rt to Oradell Public School. Once arriving at OPS, Chief Emmie was met by classmates, teachers and OPS staff lining the streets. From there, Emmie toured police headquarters, got to sit in the Chief's chair and of course got to enjoy Dunkin Donuts.

The next stop was the Bergen County Courthouse in Hackensack, where Emmie joined fellow honorary chiefs and their families for a wonderful event filled with a K-9 demonstration and pictures.

The day concluded with a full motorcade procession to Englewood for a luncheon ceremony.

Representing the Oradell Police Department throughout the day were Chief David Gangemi, PO Brennen Page, Sgt Zeszotarski, PO Hartophilis and Assistant to the Chief Jan McBride, all of whom helped make the experience special for Chief Emmie.

Thank you, Chief Emmie and the Jablonski Family, for allowing us to be part of your special day. We hope you enjoyed your day as Chief of Oradell Police Department!

Reminder. The mobile inspection unit of the dmv will be at the swim club tomorrow from 9-2.

Yesterday we teamed up with agencies statewide for the 2026 NJ Special Olympics Torch Run. We want to give a special thanks to for the years of support and fundraising. All the money raised helps athletes statewide compete for free.
