Holmdel PD Responded to 23,188 Calls for Help in 2011

Every month, the Holmdel Police Dept. releases information to the township's governing body regarding service calls. This is the December monthly report, which includes year-to-date figures as well.

Under the direction of Chief John Mioduszewski, the department patrols 18 square miles in the mostly residential township with some commercial centers and office parks. Staffing levels are decreasing. In 2010, the year began with 44 officers. By 2011, staffing was down to 41 officers. By February 2012, the department will be reduced to 37 officers.

Of the Holmdel resident's total tax bill, roughly 15 percent is paid to the township. The police department accounts for $6.75 million out of the municipality's $20 million budget, according to Business Administrator Andrew Katz.
