    "aberdeen-twp-pd": "Aberdeen Township Police Department reported 11 officers named in internal affairs cases in 2025 and 17 investigations that year, a rate of 154.5 per 100 officers. That sits above the Monmouth County median of 125 and the 125.9 statewide median for municipal police. A rate above the median can mean more misconduct, or it can mean a department that records more of the complaints it receives. Of the 17 investigations detailed for 2025, 3 reported sustained complaints. Other Departmental Rule Violation led the allegation categories, followed by Demeanor and Conduct Unbecoming/Discredit To The Agency.\n\nTwo major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2021 and 2022, including one termination. Aberdeen received a B on the report card, at the 21st percentile among 110 peers in the 30-59 officers group, a medium-confidence grade.",
    "absecon-city-pd": "In Atlantic County, Absecon City Police Department is a municipal police department. It named 7 officers in internal affairs cases in 2025 and reported 11 investigations, a rate of 157.1 per 100 officers, against an Atlantic County median of 119 and a statewide municipal median of 125.9. Higher volume cuts two ways: it can reflect more misconduct, or a department that puts more of its complaints on paper. None of the 11 investigations detailed for 2025 reported sustained complaints. Demeanor was the leading allegation category, with Excessive Force and Improper Arrest also recorded.\n\nFour major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2021 and 2022, including one termination. Absecon City received an F on the report card, at the 99th percentile among 171 peers in the 15-29 officers group, a medium-confidence grade.",
    "allendale-pd": "Allendale Police Department, a municipal police department in Bergen County, named 5 officers in internal affairs cases in 2025 and logged 6 investigations, a rate of 120 per 100 officers. That runs below the Bergen County median of 125.3 and the 125.9 statewide municipal median. Rate comparisons are ambiguous in either direction: a heavier caseload can point to more misconduct or to a department that documents more of its complaints. Of the 6 investigations detailed for 2025, 2 reported sustained complaints. Differential Treatment was the leading allegation category, ahead of Vehicular Pursuit Policy Violation and Demeanor.\n\nOne major discipline record appears in the 2020-2025 releases, from 2023. Allendale received a C on the report card, at the 59th percentile among 171 peers in the 15-29 officers group, a medium-confidence grade.",
    "allenhurst-pd": "Allenhurst Police Department is a municipal police department in Monmouth County. In 2025 it named 4 officers in internal affairs cases across 5 investigations, a rate of 125 per 100 officers that matched the Monmouth County median of 125 and sat just under the 125.9 statewide municipal median. A rate like this is hard to read on its own, because more investigations can signal more misconduct or a department that documents complaints more completely. Of the 5 investigations detailed for 2025, 4 reported sustained complaints. The leading allegation category was Other Departmental Rule Violation, with Other Criminal Violation and Preventable MV Accident also listed.\n\nOne major discipline record appears in the 2020-2025 releases, from 2024.

The Sussex County median is 150 and the statewide median for municipal police is 125.9, so the department sits below both. The comparison does not resolve much on its own: a higher rate can mean more misconduct or a department that documents more of its complaints. None of the 3 investigations detailed for 2025 reported sustained complaints. Excessive Force led the allegation categories, with Improper Arrest also recorded.\n\nNo major discipline records appear in the 2020-2025 releases, and the absence of records is not a finding.

A higher rate can reflect a heavier volume of misconduct or a department that documents more of its complaints. Of the 75 investigations detailed for 2025, 16 reported sustained complaints. Other Departmental Rule Violation was the leading allegation category, with Excessive Force and Demeanor also prominent.\n\nSeven major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2020, 2021, 2024 and 2025, including one termination.

Both the Atlantic County median of 119 and the 125.9 statewide municipal median are lower. The gap can reflect more misconduct or a department that opens and records more of the complaints it receives. Of the 252 investigations detailed for 2025, 43 reported sustained complaints. Other Departmental Rule Violation was the leading allegation category, followed by Demeanor and Excessive Force.\n\nMajor discipline records from the municipal police department appear in every release from 2021 through 2025, 36 in all, including one termination.

Its rate of 110.3 per 100 officers matched the Atlantic County median and fell below the 115.2 median for sheriff's agencies. A figure under the median can mean fewer incidents or fewer complaints carried into the record. Of the 32 investigations detailed for 2025, 9 reported sustained complaints. Other Departmental Rule Violation led with 13, ahead of Demeanor with 6 and Excessive Force with 3.\n\nFour major discipline records appear in the 2020-2025 releases, from 2024 and 2025, including 2 terminations.

It named 2 officers in internal affairs cases in 2025 and reported 2 investigations, a rate of 100 per 100 officers, level with the county median of 100 and under the 107.5 median for prosecutor agencies. Reading a rate against a median cuts both ways, since a larger caseload can mean more misconduct or a stronger habit of documenting complaints. Both of the 2 investigations detailed for 2025 reported sustained complaints. The only allegation category listed was Other Departmental Rule Violation.\n\nTen major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2020, 2022 and 2024, including 6 terminations.

That is below the Monmouth County median of 125 and the 125.9 statewide municipal median, though a low rate is as ambiguous as a high one: it can mean fewer complaints, or fewer complaints written down. None of the 1 investigation detailed for 2025 reported sustained complaints. The lone allegation category was Demeanor.\n\nNo major discipline records appear in the 2020-2025 releases, and the absence of records is not a finding.

    "audubon-pd": "In Camden County, Audubon Police Department named 9 officers in internal affairs cases in 2025 and reported 13 investigations, a rate of 144.4 per 100 officers for the municipal police department. The Camden County median is 142.2 and the statewide municipal median is 125.9. A rate over the median can point to more misconduct or to a department that documents more of its complaints.

Other Criminal Violation, Sexual Assault/Criminal Sexual Violation and False Documentation/Falsifying A Report (Criminal) were the leading allegation categories.

    "avalon-boro-pd": "Avalon Borough Police Department, in Cape May County, named 4 officers in internal affairs cases in 2025 across 5 investigations, a rate of 125 per 100 officers for the municipal police department. The Cape May County median is 118; the statewide municipal median is 125.9. More investigations per officer can reflect a heavier volume of misconduct or a department that logs more of what it receives. Of the 5 investigations detailed for 2025, 3 reported sustained complaints. Allegations were listed under Sexual Assault/Criminal Sexual Violation, Attendance Issues and Neglect of Duty. Allegations are not findings.\n\nTwo major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2023 and 2024.

The Ocean County median is 100 and the statewide municipal median is 125.9, so the township department sits above both. The number does not settle the reason: it can indicate more misconduct or a department that documents more of its complaints. None of the 16 investigations detailed for 2025 reported sustained complaints. Improper Arrest was the leading allegation category, followed by Other Departmental Rule Violation and Demeanor.\n\nTwo major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2020 and 2024.

The Hudson County median is 138.9, effectively level, and the statewide median for municipal police is 125.9. Where a department runs above the median, the figure supports two readings: more misconduct, or more complaints captured on the record.

Demeanor was the leading allegation category, ahead of Other Departmental Rule Violation and Neglect of Duty.\n\nTen major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2023 and 2024.

Its rate of 100 per 100 officers matches the Ocean County median of 100 and sits below the 125.9 municipal median statewide.

The Somerset County median is 141.7 and the statewide median for municipal police is 125.9. Neither comparison is self-explanatory: a higher rate can reflect more misconduct or a department that keeps a fuller record of complaints.

That falls under the Camden County median of 142.2 and above the 125.9 statewide municipal median.

The Evesham Township Police Department logged 64, the Pemberton Township Police Department 56 and the Mount Laurel Township Police Department 48. Departments that investigate more are not necessarily departments where more goes wrong; a thicker file can also mean a stronger complaint-intake practice.\n\nThe 2020-2025 major discipline releases contain 104 records for Burlington County, including 15 terminations. Those outcomes are final and adjudicated, unlike internal affairs cases, which are not findings.

The Camden Police Department alone accounted for 1,495 of those cases, ahead of Camden County Corrections at 186 and the Gloucester Township Police Department at 110.
