Finding Someone in Custody in Oradell
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Oradell is held at the county jail, run by the Bergen County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Bergen County Sheriff's Office at bergencountynj.gov/employment/juvenile-detention-officer-county-of-... (page title: Juvenile Detention Officer Department of Human Services | Division of Family Guidance | Bergen County, NJ), 200 North Street, Teterboro, NJ 07608, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 11, 2026.
That page is the office's jail information page rather than a roster.
