Three Ways to Reach Hudson County Sheriff's Office (And Which One to Use When)
Need to reach the Hudson County Sheriff's Office? You'll get a faster answer when you match your question to the right channel: the main phone lines, a specific extension from the telephone directory, or email.
The Hudson County Sheriff's Office offers three ways to get in touch, each suited to a different situation. For a general starting point, call (201) 795-6300 or (201) 915-1300. Need a faster response from a specific unit? Check their telephone directory to reach the right contact directly. For non-urgent questions (especially when you want a written record or need to send details), email info@hudsoncountysheriff.org.
The general lines work best when your question is broad, you're unsure which department handles it, or you just need someone to point you in the right direction. Call (201) 795-6300 or (201) 915-1300 when you don't have an extension handy. Be ready to briefly explain what you need so staff can transfer you or tell you the best next step.
Note: If you do not know which office you need, start with the main line at (201) 795-6300 and ask to be directed to the correct unit.
For the quickest, most targeted response, use the telephone directory. The Sheriff's Office specifically directs people to the directory when they need an immediate response from the right contact. This usually saves time compared to calling the main line and hoping you get transferred correctly. The directory is especially helpful when your request clearly belongs to a specific unit (records, process service, and similar departments) and you need the right staff member on your first call.
- ✓ Records Room: (201) 915-1300 Ext. 7034. Fax: (201) 369-5575.
- ✓ Process Service (summons, complaints, subpoenas, and injunctions for protection): (201) 795-6300 Ext. 7235, 7088, 7242.
Tip: Have the extension(s) in front of you before you call. If you reach a receptionist or voicemail, ask for the unit by name (the Records Room or Process Service, for example) and confirm the extension you should be using.
Email works best when your request isn't urgent and you want everything in writing. Use info@hudsoncountysheriff.org for general questions, detailed explanations that are hard to handle over the phone, or situations where you may need to refer back to what you sent later.
- Do you need an immediate, department-specific response? Use the telephone directory and call the extension for the right unit.
- Are you not sure who handles your question? Call a main line first and ask where you should be routed.
- Is it non-urgent, detailed, or better in writing? Email instead so you have a clear paper trail.

Calling about Process Service for summons, complaints, subpoenas, or injunctions for protection? Be specific right away so you land in the right place. Try this: "Hi, I'm calling for Process Service regarding a summons/complaint/subpoena (or an injunction for protection). Which of these extensions should I use: Ext. 7235, 7088, or 7242 on (201) 795-6300?" If you have a case number or party names, have them ready so you don't have to call back with basics.
