Northfield has a fairly busy municipal court. This is illustrated by the high number of traffic and criminal offenses that the court handles on a yearly basis. Between July 2012 and June 2013, the Northfield Police Department and New Jersey State Troopers issued over 1,200 criminal complaints and over 2,400 moving traffic violations. Those numbers are rather staggering considering that the town only has about 8,500 residents. The reason that that municipal court handles so many cases, specifically traffic, is because of the 46 miles of public roadways within Northfield, including Route 9 and 662. Motor vehicle stops on these roads often lead to marijuana possession or drug paraphernalia charges.
