The Lincoln Park Police Department was
formed by Municipal Ordinance on July 10, 1922. The first Chief of Police
was Elmer Watt. Chief Watt was a stern no nonsense Chief who served Lincoln
Park until the 1950's when his successor Chief Robert Van Zant became Chief of Police.
The police department has evolved from
the small sleepy farmtown department which
existed as such until the mid 1960's. With the rapid expansion of the
Borough in the 1960's also came the expansion of the police department.
Under Chief Scherer the department expanded and many well remembered police
officers joined the force.
