{"url":"https://policetransparencynj.com/departments/rockaway-twp-pd/","summary":"Rockaway Township Police Department is a municipal police agency in Morris County. It named 4 officers in internal affairs cases in 2025 and reported 6 investigations, a rate of 150 per 100 officers, above the county median of 116.7 and the 125.9 municipal median. Rates above the medians can carry two readings: more misconduct, or a department that writes up more of the complaints it fields. Of the 6 investigations detailed for 2025, 2 reported sustained complaints. Preventable MV Accident, Attendance Issues and Insubordination/Disobeying An Order were the leading allegation categories.\n\nNo major discipline records appear in the 2020-2025 releases, and the absence of records is not a finding. Rockaway Twp received a B on the report card, at the 30th percentile among 110 peers in the 30-59 officers band, a medium-confidence grade.","note":"Compiled from New Jersey Attorney General public data by an independent project; not a government source.
