Municipal Courts

This includes cases involving:
• Minor criminal offenses
• Motor vehicle and parking tickets
• Municipal ordinance violations
• Miscellaneous offenses such as fish and game violations.
Please note that in New Jersey misdemeanors are referenced as ‘disorderly persons offenses’. Although these records are accessible, there is no accurate way to search for disorderly persons offense records.
