Rights / integrity tier, as grouped by this site
New Jersey law enforcement agencies recorded 798 allegations in this category between 2021 and 2025, the 19th-most most reported of the 31 categories and 1.0% 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.

Year-to-year movement reflects both complaint volume and reporting practice. The number of agencies filing a report changes each year, and a category can grow simply because more departments began classifying complaints into it.
