Today the police department serves Burlington Countys largest municipality. The township, more commonly known by its postal address of Marlton, is approximately 30 square miles with an estimated population of 45,000. Over the years the department has continually attempted to provide officers with the best available equipment and training in order to deploy an efficient and effective patrol force
