Council adopts ordinance adding two patrol officers to West Windsor police division
Summary
On June 16 the West Windsor Township Council adopted Ordinance 2025‑08 to increase the authorized number of patrol officers from 36 to 38; council members said both positions were budgeted and included in the 2025 operating budget.
The West Windsor Township Council voted to adopt Ordinance 2025‑08 during its June 16 meeting to amend Chapter 4 (Administration of Government), Section 4‑37, to increase the police division from 36 to 38 patrol officers.
Township counsel explained that the two additional officers were budgeted and approved in the 2025 municipal operating budget. A motion to close the public hearing and a motion to adopt the ordinance were made, and a roll call vote recorded the ordinance’s adoption.
Council discussion and vote: The public hearing on Ordinance 2025‑08 was opened and, with no members of the public speaking, closed by motion. Council then moved to adopt the ordinance; township counsel noted the amendment increased the authorized patrol strength to 38. Roll call votes were recorded and the ordinance was adopted.
What’s next: The ordinance amends the township code to reflect the increased authorized staffing level; the administration indicated the two positions were already budgeted in the 2025 operating budget and no additional immediate budget appropriation was announced at the meeting.
This account is based on the council’s public hearing, the motions to adopt recorded in the June 16 meeting and the explanation from counsel during the meeting. The meeting transcript did not provide the full formal text of the ordinance beyond the citation or the names of individual motion makers for the adoption motion.
