The county government's own officers in the police pension fund. The state file does not say which are sheriff's officers, corrections officers or investigators, so they are shown together and not ranked against city departments.
Common questions
Which police department pays the most in Hudson County?
By middle base salary, Hoboken City Police at $139,262 as of June 30, 2026, then Union City Police at $135,826. That counts every rank and leaves out overtime.

What this is: the salary each officer earns toward a pension, as their employer reported it to the state for the four most recent quarters before June 30, 2026. It is base salary for every rank from new officer to chief. The state file has no job titles, no overtime and no total pay, so a department with many senior officers shows a higher middle salary.
