NJ police departments are required to report major discipline to the Attorney General

Police departments across New Jersey are required to submit this data to the state. Agencies report officers serving major discipline only when the discipline is final, and appeals have been exhausted. Pending cases are not included. Thus, officers suspended in 2025, but whose discipline determination is not final, do not appear in the report. The report only covers completed cases with sustained charges resulting in final sanctions, or plea agreements not pending any potential appeals.

Major discipline is defined as police officers being charged with an indictable crime, being fired, reductions in rank, suspension of more than five days, and instances when officers are found guilty of certain internal affairs violations. It also includes discriminatory conduct, filing a false report, intentionally performing an improper search, applying excessive force, being untruthful, intentionally mishandling or destroying evidence and committing domestic violence.

NJ Attorney General Jennifer Davenport said her office makes this information public to increase transparency and trust in the police, especially when they use force.

“Maintaining faith in government and trust in law enforcement requires that residents know the state holds law enforcement to the highest professional standards,” said Davenport on June 12. “Transparency and accountability are key to maintaining public confidence in our officers.”
