Bergen County R.D.F Unit and the HHPD

The R.D.F. was formed in 1994 under the authority of the Bergen County Police Chief’s Association.  The unit, which is comprised of officers from every Police Department in Bergen County, provides Municipal Police Departments with support in the event of large scale civil disorder, or large scale disaster.  The unit can provide assistance for any scheduled or emergent type event as deemed necessary by the Chief’s Association.

The R.D.F. has been called into service several times, and been placed on high ready alert several more.  The unit has assisted Cliffside Park P.D. and Fairview P.D. during the World Cup Soccer Finals with civil disorder, the Bergenfield P.D. with civil disorder at “The Rink”, Lodi P.D. with the Napp Chemical Explosion disaster and Wallington P.D. with the Farmland Dairy Strike when it became violent.  More recently, the R.D.F. was used during the attacks of September 11, 2001 to secure key locations in Bergen County and assist with security at the George Washington Bridge.

The R.D.F. is currently comprised of about 180 dedicated and motivated officers.  They pride themselves on military type discipline and appearance.  The supervisors and operators train together 3 to 4 times annually.  Unit members are trained in crowd control tactics and formations as well as arrest/rescue team tactics.  Several members are trained as Unit Chemical Agent officers, and are trained to deploy bulk type O.C., (Pepper Spray), and CN Gas, commonly referred to as tear gas, both by grenade and projectile, using the 37 mm gas gun.

The unit is also fortunate to count among its members, several paramedics and EMT’s.  Their first priority would be to care for injured police officers.  They may, however, be required to assist injured arrested parties or victims of disaster until further medical assistance can be obtained.

The Unit is very well equipped.  The original equipment including uniforms, helmets, gas masks, shields, medical kits, O.C., GN gas, arrest kits, etc.,  was paid for by The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office from confiscated funds.
