Wall Township and the WTPD
Wall Township is a 30.6 square mile suburban municipality located
in the southeastern corner of Monmouth County.
"Wall Township was incorporated on March 7, 1851, by an act of the
New Jersey Legislature that separated it from Howell Township.
The township is named after Senator Garret Dorset Wall, who served
in both the New Jersey Legislature and the United States Senate.
He was also elected by the Legislature to serve as Governor, but
"General Wall" declined the honor."
A blend of beach and country, it boarders the beautiful Manasquan
River and is a short bike ride to the Atlantic Ocean. Our community
offers many amenities and attractions to suit a variety of tastes.
Fishing, bike trails, and great shopping, to mention a few. Wall is
a fantastic place to both live and work.
The Wall Township Police Department was established in March of
1931. It currently employs 69 full time sworn police officers and a
civilian staff of 45 (Dispatchers, EMT's, records personnel, and
school crossing guards), some of whom are part-time.
In order to
ensure the safety and protection of this multifaceted community the
Wall Township Police Department seeks to proactively deter and
reduce crime and accidents by fairly, respectfully and impartially
enforcing the laws and ordinances that protect its populace.
