Ms. Taeho,
Maurice River Township does not have a municipal police force. Therefore, no documents are on file.
The New Jersey State Police, Port Norris Barracks, provides these services for the township. The New Jersey State Police, Port Norris Barracks can be reached at 856-785-0036.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
