The Mount Olive Police Department moved into its current facility at
204 Flanders
Drakestown Road in 1998. From 1941 to 1998 the department was located in a former
casino located on the shore of Budd Lake that had been built in 1937.
Officers gather in the Briefing Room at the start of each shift. The oncoming Sergeant or
senior officer conducts a formal briefing with their squad to pass on information from the
previous shift along with special bulletins and memoranda. It is also used for in-service
training.
The Patrol Room is equipped with numerous work stations and computers where officers can
work on their investigations. The bins on the far wall hold some of the numerous reports an
officer may need.
The Communications Center is responsible for handling all incoming calls for service, either
by telephone, radio or in person. Once received the call is entered into a computer and assigned
to an officer. Fire apparatus and rescue equipment are also dispatched from the Communication Center if needed.
The
Records Bureau is
responsible for maintaining all of the department's investigation and
accident reports.
When an officer makes an arrest the prisoner is taken back to police headquarters
and placed in the processing room. Here they are fingerprinted, photographed and all
paperwork is completed. The department's Breathalyzer machines can be seen in the bottom right
of the photo.
This is the cell block hallway and one of the department's prison cells.
