County Of Essex Sheriffs Department

The County of Essex Sheriffs Department is a U.S. local government entity located in Newark, New Jersey, registered in SAM.gov since 2005. As a law enforcement agency serving Essex County, the department provides critical public safety services and has been actively engaged in federal grant programs. While not extensively involved in federal contract awards, the department has received multiple federal grants focused on enhancing law enforcement capabilities, community policing, and emergency preparedness.

The federal contract award history for the County of Essex Sheriffs Department is extremely limited, with only one small purchase order valued at $840 for training/education purposes from the US Attorney's Offices. This minimal contract activity suggests the department's primary federal engagement occurs through grant funding rather than direct contract awards. The contract was not set aside for any specific business type and was structured as a standard purchase order with a completion date of December 31, 2024.

The department has received significant federal grant awards, particularly from the Department of Justice and Community Oriented Policing Programs. Key grant awards include a $400,000 Bureau of Justice Assistance grant to purchase 200 body-worn cameras, aimed at enhancing evidence documentation and community trust, and a COPS Hiring Program grant to support additional law enforcement officers. The department has also received multiple Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) sub-awards from the New Jersey Department of Law & Public Safety, focusing on emergency management training, planning, and the ability to respond to terrorism, natural disasters, and catastrophic events. Additional homeland security-related sub-awards from the New Jersey Department of Homeland Security & Preparedness further demonstrate the department's commitment to public safety and preparedness initiatives.
