No New Brunswick Police Officers Named In 2025 Major Discipline Report

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ — On June 12, the New Jersey Attorney General released its annual report of the major disciplinary actions taken last year at all the police departments, county corrections and county sheriffs in the state.

No officer in the New Brunswick city Police Department made the list. However, three Woodbridge Police officers were named to it, including one officer who resigned from the WPD last year after he was convicted of aggravated indecent assault of a child for molesting his younger cousin. (This happened when he was 11 and she was 8.)

3 Woodbridge Police Officers Named In Major Discipline Report (July 8)

The data is all publicly available here on the NJ Attorney General’s website, under the 2025 Major Discipline Report.

Police departments across New Jersey are required to submit this data to the state.

NJ Attorney General Jennifer Davenport said her office makes this information public to increase transparency and trust in the police.

“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.”

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.

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.
