Investigative Services Division

The Investigative Services Division of the Jackson Township Police Department is commanded by Captain Christopher L. Dunton.  Captain Dunton is a 22 year veteran of the Jackson Township Police Department, having begun his career with the agency in the fall of 1984.  He has earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice from Trenton State College in 1983, and a Master of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice Administration from Monmouth University in 2000.  During his career he has also successfully completed both the Northwestern University Center for Public Safety School of Police Staff and Command, and the Northwestern University Center for Public Safety Police Executive Management Program. 

The Department’s Investigative Services Division is responsible for both the pro-active and re-active investigation of crimes against both persons and property.  Some of the additional responsibilities of the Division include crime scene processing and evidence collection, background investigations of new police employees and investigations related to Alcoholic Beverage Control.

Currently, the Investigative Services Division is supervised by Detective Lieutenant John Siedler and Detective Sergeant Denis Campbell, and is staffed by five Detectives responsible for conducting general criminal investigations, one Detective specifically assigned to investigate all matters directly related to the involvement of juvenile offenders, and one Detective responsible for the evidence and identification functions of the Department.

All members of the Investigative Services Division remain committed to improving the quality of life for all the residents of Jackson Township, and we encourage everyone to assist us in anyway they can in that endeavor.
