Promoting Diversity in Law Enforcement Recruiting and Hiring
Pursuant to the December 2021 Attorney General Guideline “Promoting Diversity in Law Enforcement Recruiting and Hiring,” the Fair Haven Police Department is committed to doing all that we can to hire staff who reflect the community that we serve. See N.J.S.A.52:17B-4.10. 2021 Census Data indicates that Fair Haven Borough’s population is 94.2% White, 3% Black, 1.6% Hispanic, and 1% Asian.

As of December 31, 2021, the Fair Haven Police Department had 13 Officers: 92% were white, 8% were black, 0% Hispanic and 0% were Asian. Although our Diversity numbers are higher than the 2021 census data for Black officers, only 8% of our officers are women.

Through job fares, such as the outreach event held by the Monmouth County Chiefs of Police at Brookdale Community College on March 8th, and local community events, we will continue to strive to increase the number of female officers on staff and will enhance our efforts to seek diverse applicants to join our department.
