In brief
The Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office is a county prosecutor agency in Atlantic County. 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.
Ten major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2020, 2022 and 2024, including 6 terminations. The office received a C on the report card, at the 48th percentile among 21 peers in the group of all prosecutor agencies, a medium-confidence grade.

Military surplus equipment (1033 program)
No 1033 transfers recorded. No surplus-equipment transfers appear for this agency under a high-confidence name match in the Defense Logistics Agency's file as of 2026-06-30. That can mean the agency received nothing through the program, or that a recipient name in the federal file did not confidently match this department. See the methodology for how the match is made, or the statewide 1033 overview for how the program spreads across New Jersey.

Against peers, 2025
How this grade was built →| Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office | 100.0 |
|---|---|
| County median, county prosecutor (1) | 100.0 |
| NJ median, county prosecutor (21) | 107.5 |
Investigations per 100 officers named in that year's IA investigations (the Attorney General's own "Number of Officers" field, a distinct-officer count drawn from the IA case data itself, not a department headcount). A higher number is ambiguous on its own: it can reflect more misconduct, or a stronger internal reporting culture. Medians are computed within the same agency type only.
2 investigations reported for 2025[1] ÷ 73 sworn officers the department reported to the FBI for 2025[20] = 2.7 per 100 FBI-reported sworn officers. This is a genuinely different denominator from the rate above, not a correction of it; the two should not be added or averaged together. See the methodology for why these two officer counts diverge.

What this grade can and can't tell you
- The underlying data is self-reported by agencies, one yearly snapshot at a time.
- Allegations are not findings; many complaints end unfounded, exonerated, or not sustained.
- There is no arrest or call-volume denominator in this data, so nothing here is a per-capita misconduct rate. A genuinely independent staffing-based rate, sourced from the FBI rather than this grade's own data, appears above when available. It is a different measurement, not a more accurate version of the grade.
- A higher internal affairs volume is ambiguous: it can indicate more misconduct, or a more robust oversight and reporting culture. The grade weighs it anyway, because volume is what the record offers; that choice is published, not hidden.
- The grade is one lens. The records it reads are on this page above.

Fatal encounters recorded involving this agency
From the independent Fatal Encounters dataset, 2000-2021
In brief (written by this site from the records below)
One record in the Fatal Encounters dataset names Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office, in 2010. The dataset records the force on it, in its own as-recorded terms, as Gunshot. The dataset comes from Fatal Encounters, an independent crowdsourced journalism project that logged deaths occurring during police encounters of any kind, including vehicle pursuits, overdoses, and medical emergencies. A record means a death occurred during an encounter with the agency named in the as-reported agency field; it is not a finding of fault. Collection ended in December 2021, so the dataset is frozen at that point and later years are simply not covered.
Fatal Encounters is an independent, crowdsourced dataset that documented deaths during police encounters nationwide from 2000 until its collection ended in December 2021.[2] 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. A record appears here because Atlantic County Prosecutor's Officeis named in the record's as-reported agency field. A listing is not a misconduct finding, and it is not connected to the Attorney General discipline records above. See the methodology. Each record links to its own page with the full as-reported details.

What this section can and can't tell you
- A request is not a finding. Every entry records what a member of the public asked for. None of it establishes that an agency did anything, and none of it is an allegation this site is making.
- Statuses come from the requester, not the agency. On OPRAmachine the person who filed the request classifies the response they got, so “successful” means they said they got what they asked for. It is not the agency's word and not an adjudication.
- Request volume is not a measure of misconduct. A long list usually reflects public interest, local journalism, or one determined requester. A short list usually means few people have asked.
- This covers OPRAmachine only. Most OPRA requests in New Jersey are filed directly with agencies and never appear here, so this is a floor, not a total.
- It is frozen at 12 July 2026. The figures come from a snapshot of OPRAmachine taken on that date and nothing refreshes them, so anything filed since is missing. Treat every number here as a lower bound that is only getting further out of date.
The match between this OPRAmachine body and this department is this site's inference, not a certified mapping. If it is wrong, we will remove it: corrections.
