The Ewing Police Department Communication Center is the primary answering point for all 911 calls for Police, Fire, and Emergency Medical Services. The Center is staffed at all times with a minimum of two certified call takers and has the ability to expand up to five total positions. The staff of the center is comprised of 10 certified 9-1-1 dispatcher/call takers, 2 support staff, and 1 supervisor. Additionally many police officers are cross trained and certified as 9-1-1 dispatchers. The center also handles all phone calls placed to our main number of (609) 882-1313.

The 9-1-1 center is "Phase 2" compliant which allows for the pinpointing of a cellular phones location at the time of the 9-1-1 call. The caller’s location is plotted on a map along with the available police units. This allows for dispatch of the closest police unit to the call.
