{"url":"https://policetransparencynj.com/departments/pine-hill-pd/","summary":"Pine Hill Police Department, a municipal agency in Camden County, reported 12 internal affairs investigations in 2025 and named 10 officers in those cases. Its rate of 120 per 100 officers ran below the Camden County median of 142.2 and the 125.9 municipal median, and a below-median rate can point to less misconduct or to complaints that never reach a file. Of the 12 investigations detailed for 2025, 1 reported a sustained complaint. Demeanor was the leading allegation category, ahead of Other Departmental Rule Violation and Improper Arrest.\n\nFour major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2021, 2022 and 2024. Pine Hill PD received an F on the report card, at the 97th percentile among 171 peers in the 15-29 officers group, a medium-confidence grade.","note":"Compiled from New Jersey Attorney General public data by an independent project; not a government source.
