Need to submit a complaint?

The Hopatcong Borough Police Department has a Formal Procedure for investigating complaints which mirrors the policies established by the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office.  Our policy ensures fairness and due process protection to all parties involved.

We accept and investigate all complaints of alleged officer misconduct or wrongdoing from any citizen.  This includes reports from anonymous sources, juveniles and person’s under arrest or in custody.

Following a thorough and impartial examination of the available factual information, the officer will either be exonerated or held responsible for the alleged misconduct.  Discipline will be administered according to the degree of misconduct.

To initiate a complaint, please download our Internal Affairs Complaint Report Form.

Once the completed form is saved to your hard drive, you can then use your e-mail account to attach the form to an e-mail and submit it electronically to cwojtach@hopatcongpolice.org.  If you prefer, it can be printed out and submitted via postal mail, or delivered in-person to the following address:

Hopatcong Borough Police Department

We treat all complaints equally regardless of whether or not they are filled out anonymously or with a name. However, please keep in mind that we can investigate best when we have all available information and have the ability to contact you with further questions, if needed.

If you have any questions or need more information, please contact the police department at (973) 398-5000
