Allegation category

Vehicular Pursuit Policy Violation

Conduct / duty tier, as grouped by this site

New Jersey law enforcement agencies recorded 1,062 allegations in this category between 2022 and 2025, the 17th-most most reported of the 31 categories and 1.3% 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.

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.
