Fingerprinting
*Appointments are highly recommended
In most circumstances, the Deptford Township Police Department does NOT provide fingerprinting services as has been customary in years past. We will fingerprint persons ONLY for Federal employment and any non-New Jersey (Out-of-State) background check. The fingerprinting service is free-of-charge to persons who are residents of Deptford Township.
Provide us:
- proof of residency
- photo identification
- applicant fingerprint cards furnished by the requesting agency

Appointments made to satisfy employment requirements (outlined above) can be made by calling Corporal Michael Brazelton at (856) 686-2204 Ext. 5225, Monday-Friday between the hours of 7:30 AM - 3:30 PM.
