Allegation category

Attendance issues

Administrative tier

Grouped into that tier by this site, not by the reporting agency.

New Jersey law enforcement agencies recorded 1,588 allegations in this category between 2022 and 2025, the 12th-most most reported of the 31 categories and 2.0% of all allegations statewide.

These are complaints, not findings. A complaint is recorded when somebody makes it, whether or not an investigation later sustained it, so nothing on this page establishes that any officer did anything.
