Department Overview:
The Atlantic Highlands Police Department recognizes that our officers are the face of the department.

Simply put, we have a small group of officers who know our town inside and out. The Atlantic Highlands Police Department serves a 1.2 mile community of 4700 year round residents. The Atlantic Highlands Police Department is seeking only the highest caliber personnel with a demonstrated ability to meet and exceed standards for personal and professional conduct. Candidates need to be community oriented, compassionate, and respectful.

Tree lined streets with a mix of Victorian and newer homes make Atlantic Highlands a beautiful place to live or work. The Manhattan skyline can be seen from the borough’s ridges and shoreline. Pleasure, fishing, and commuter boats sail from our harbor, which is one of the largest municipal owned harbors on the East Coast. New York City is a 40 minute commute by one of the fast ferries servicing our town.
