In brief
Gloucester County counted 271 internal affairs investigations across its agencies in 2025, with 21 of 22 agencies reporting and 222 officers named in those cases. The Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office logged the most investigations, 43, followed closely by the Monroe Township Police Department with 42 and the Deptford Township Police Department with 22. A larger caseload at one agency can mean more misconduct or a stronger habit of documenting complaints, and the counts alone do not separate the two.
Across the 2020-2025 major discipline releases, agencies in Gloucester County account for 50 records, including nine terminations. The Monroe Township Police Department carries the most with 12, ahead of the Gloucester County Sheriff's Department with eight and the East Greenwich Township Police Department with five. Major discipline records reflect final, adjudicated outcomes; allegations are not findings.

Fatal encounters recorded in Gloucester County
From the independent Fatal Encounters dataset, 2000-2021
Fatal Encounters is an independent, crowdsourced journalism project that documented deaths during police encounters nationwide from 2000 until its collection ended in December 2021, so the dataset is frozen: no records after 2021 means the dataset ended, not that these deaths ended.[5] It records all deaths that occurred during a police encounter of any kind: vehicle pursuits, suicides in police presence, and medical emergencies are included alongside uses of force. The 14 records below appear here because the county the project recorded is Gloucester County. A listing is not a misconduct finding, and it is not connected to the Attorney General discipline records on this page. See the methodology. Each record links to its own page with the full as-reported details.
