Moonachie Police Department This is the official page of the Moonachie Police Department. Please do not contact this pa Team and New Jersey Police Traffic Officer's Association.

The Moonachie Police Department proudly serves Moonachie and Teterboro, New Jersey. All Moonachie Police Department members, sworn officers and civilian employees, are highly trained and dedicated professionals. Continual in-service training keeps our officers up to date with changing technology, law enforcement tactics, and community policing development. We have officer's who are members of the

Bergen County Rapid Deployment Force (R.D.F.), Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Fatal Accident Investigation Unit, on call Drug Recognition Experts (D.R.E.) Our officer's expertise in these areas, regular in-service training, and experience helps keep the Borough of Moonachie and surrounding communities safe. Random patrol with marked police units, 24 hours a day, seven days week helps the Police Department accomplish several tasks. Traffic enforcement and education helps keep traffic moving safely. Patrol units are able to quickly identify situations that may become hazardous (ie, ice conditions, water main breaks, debris in the roadway, traffic and street light outages) and notify the proper authority to correct the situation. Without patrol these situations would not be corrected in a safe and timely manner. High visibility in our residential and commercial zones help prevent crime and identify situations that may actually attract certain criminal activity. Once identified, actions through our crime prevention bureau help correct such situations. Sometimes crimes in progress are stopped as they occur. Of course, help from our residents and business owners is critical - first by taking necessary precautions to avoid becoming a victim of crime, and second by reporting all suspicious activity immediately. One of the Police Department's most frequent calls for patrol service are medical assistance requests. Moonachie Police Officer's are trained first responders and are equipped with first aid supplies, oxygen tanks and automated external defibrillators. Once on scene, officers are able to provide immediate assistance to victims and notify dispatch to alert other necessary resources (i.e. FIRE DEPT., EMS, PARAMEDICS). The Police Department's role in medical assistance calls is critical and one of our most rewarding.

🚨 SCAM ALERT — FAKE COURT NOTICE 🚨

This image is NOT a real legal document. It is a fraudulent notice designed to scare people into paying money or sharing personal information.

Scammers are increasingly using fake court letters, traffic violations, and official-looking documents to appear legitimate. Always verify any legal notice directly through official government channels before taking action.

⚠️ Stay vigilant:
• Do not scan unknown QR codes
• Do not send payments without verification
• Contact your local court or authority directly

Help spread awareness and protect others from falling victim to these ongoing scams.

Congratulations to our very own Officer Leoncini on being chosen as Bergen County Veteran of the Month!

I’m excited to recognize Daniel C. Leoncini as our Veteran of the Month!

A lifelong Bergen County resident, Daniel C. Leoncini was born and raised in Little Ferry and graduated from Ridgefield Park High School in 2007. Following his high school graduation, he answered the call to serve our nation by joining the United States Marine Corps, where he was assigned to the Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team. In 2009, he deployed to Spain in support of critical security operations before later transitioning to serve as an infantryman.

Daniel deployed to Helmand Province, Afghanistan in 2011 as a machine gunner during combat operations. In February 2012, he was seriously wounded by an improvised explosive device blast, sustaining a traumatic brain injury. For his courage and sacrifice in service to our country, he was awarded the Purple Heart. After his recovery, he was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps in 2013.

However, his commitment to public service did not end with his military career. In 2015, Daniel joined the Moonachie Police Department, where he continues to protect and serve our residents. He is also an active member of the Bergen County SWAT Team and is the President of PBA Local 102, representing and advocating for his fellow officers.

Away from his uniform, Daniel is a devoted husband and father. He has been married for ten years to his high school sweetheart, and together they are raising two young boys, ages five and two.

The County of Bergen proudly recognizes Daniel C. Leoncini for his bravery, sacrifice, and steadfast dedication to serving both our nation and our community. His story is a reminder of the courage and commitment shown by the men and women who protect our freedoms and ensure safety in our neighborhoods every day.
