Audubon Police Department

Reported as: Audubon PDMunicipal police

Jurisdiction context

Not a civil service jurisdiction

This department is not among the NJCSC Appendix A jurisdictions, so major discipline here follows a different statutory track (generally N.J.S.A. 40A:14 for municipal police), with appeals that usually go to the Superior Court rather than the Civil Service Commission.

See the context on non-civil-service departments.

Reflects the NJCSC Appendix A roster as of 2026-07-04. Context only, not legal advice.

In brief

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. None of the 13 investigations detailed for 2025 reported sustained complaints. Other Criminal Violation, Sexual Assault/Criminal Sexual Violation and False Documentation/Falsifying A Report (Criminal) were the leading allegation categories. Allegations are not findings.

One major discipline record appears in the 2020-2025 releases, from 2023. Audubon received a D on the report card, at the 65th percentile among 171 peers in the 15-29 officers group, a medium-confidence grade.

AnalysisEvery ratio here is computed by this site from as-reported pensionable salaries. The local school figure comes from the pension employer "AUDUBON BOROUGH BD OF ED", linked to this municipality only because exactly one district in the county resolves to it. A pay comparison is not a statement about either budget. The full county comparison, including the distribution and the tenure-adjusted figure, is on the Camden County pay page.

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.

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.

AnalysisA second, independent rate using FBI-reported staffing instead.

13 investigations reported for 2025^[1] ÷ 17 sworn officers the department reported to the FBI for 2025^[20] = 76.5 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.

Public records requests

No records-request history is shown for this department. OPRAmachine, an independent site that files and publishes Open Public Records Act requests, has no public body that confidently matches this department, so this site does not assert one. That does not mean nobody has requested records from it. (Checked against a snapshot of OPRAmachine taken 12 July 2026.) See the methodology for how the match is made.

Questions and answers

What is a summary of Audubon Police Department's internal affairs and discipline record?

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. None of the 13 investigations detailed for 2025 reported sustained complaints. Other Criminal Violation, Sexual Assault/Criminal Sexual Violation and False Documentation/Falsifying A Report (Criminal) were the leading allegation categories. Allegations are not findings. One major discipline record appears in the 2020-2025 releases, from 2023.

Audubon Police Department reported 17 full-time sworn officers to the FBI's Law Enforcement Employees census for 2025, 11.8% of them female. That is 1.93 sworn officers per 1,000 residents.

What does Audubon Police Department pay its officers compared with local school staff?

The median pensionable salary for the 14 active Audubon Police Department officers in the NJ Treasury pension file is $110,196.

These are pensionable base salaries: they exclude overtime, stipends, longevity and leave payouts for both groups, and a school contract year and a police work year are different lengths. TPAF covers certificated school staff, not only classroom teachers.
