RUPD upgrades to new headquarters, better technology
The Rutgers University Police Department's new facilities in New Brunswick are finally worthy of its stature. Larger than many municipal police departments in New Jersey with a cadre of 58 sworn police officers, the RUPD presents a professional front to the public. But their old home presented, well, a less polished image.
“We have always had a very good police department,” said Chief Rhonda Harris. “It was hard to get past the image of the building.”
The old white house at 5 Huntington St. on the College Avenue Campus is now vacant, with the police department moving into the new Public Safety Building at the corner of George and Commercial streets in downtown New Brunswick.
