Parsippany Police Change Protocols As Pandemic Resurges

PARSIPPANY, NJ - Due to the state of emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Parsippany Police Department has modified some protocols and services.

• Effective immediately police are asking that except for emergencies, residents should not come into the police department to file a complaint. Call 973-263-4300 first so they can screen the complaint.
• Urgent/emergency calls for service will still trigger an officer to respond under most circumstances, however callers will be asked a series of questions to determine if precautions are needed to protect officers and other first responders.
• The 911 system will remain fully operational.
• Requests for copies of reports should be made by emailing records@parpolice.com
• All fingerprinting services provided by the department have been suspended until further notice.
• Firearm applications are only accepted online.
• Responses will be delayed due to a backlog and modified schedules.
• Discovery and OPRA requests will still be processed, however they may be delayed.

These protocols and services may change at a moment's notice, police said.
