Allegation category

Other Criminal Violation

Violence / criminal tier, as grouped by this site

New Jersey law enforcement agencies recorded 3,603 allegations in this category between 2021 and 2025, the fifth-most most reported of the 31 categories and 4.5% 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.

AnalysisThis site's calculation: each agency's count in this category divided by its own total allegations. Agencies reporting fewer than 50 allegations overall are excluded, because a handful of complaints produces a meaningless percentage.

A high share means this category is unusually prominent in what that agency records. It can reflect what happens there, or how that agency classifies complaints.
