Anyone interested in obtaining an application for employment must first write a letter to Chief Michael Bradley.  It is helpful to include a current resumé with your letter. Additionally, you should indicate what position within the department you are interested in.

Long Beach Township is governed by the New Jersey Department of Personnel. In order to be considered for full time employment you must first take the DOP Police Test. You can obtain additional information on the testing procedure by contacting the Exams Information section of the New Jersey Departmental of Personnel at (609) 292-8668 or by visiting their web site at http://www.state.nj.us/personnel.

Long Beach Township also maintains residency preference for full time  employees as defined by local ordinance.  You must be a resident of Long Beach Township at the time of application for your Department of Personnel Police Test.  You must also be a resident of Long Beach Township at the time of your application and through the hiring process  including your appointment, to receive residency preference.

The residency preference does not apply to seasonal employees.  Long Beach Township employs approximately fifteen Special Law Enforcement Officers each summer.  Class I and Class II officers must be able to commit to working the summer season through Labor Day.  Applications for seasonal work are not mailed but must be picked by the applicant. Appointments to pick up applications will be made in early February. The seasonal hiring process begins in January with successful candidates conditionally offered employment in late April.  If you are interested in a seasonal position you must submit a letter to Deputy Chief Leslie Houston explaining your interest.
