Police Department
The Keyport Police Department, officially established on December 13, 1926, builds on a tradition of law enforcement dating back to 1850. In those early days, a town marshal and constable patrolled Keyport's bustling business district and vital wharf areas, laying the foundation for our modern police force.
Structure and Leadership
Under the guidance of Police Chief Michael A. Ferm, our department operates with a strategic structure:
- Chief of Police
- Captain
- Lieutenant
- Sergeants

- Patrol Officers
Complementing our full-time force are dedicated School Crossing Guards, Special Law Enforcement Officers, Department Secretary and Records personnel who provide crucial support as needed.

We work tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of our residents, business owners, and visitors alike.
