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

New Jersey law enforcement agencies recorded 699 allegations in this category between 2022 and 2025, the 20th-most most reported of the 31 categories and 0.9% 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.
