In brief

Burlington County Corrections reported 23 internal affairs investigations in 2025 and 22 officers named in those cases. Its rate of 104.5 per 100 officers matched the county median of 104.5 and ran below the 125 median for corrections agencies. Volume alone is ambiguous: an agency can post a high rate because misconduct is more common or because it documents complaints more completely. Of the 23 investigations detailed for 2025, 12 reported sustained complaints. BWC/MVR Violation led the categories at 10, followed by Other Departmental Rule Violation at 7 and Loss Of Or Failure To Safeguard Agency Property at 4.

Fifty-two major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, with records in every year from 2021 through 2025, including four terminations. Burlington County Corrections received a D on the report card, at the 64th percentile among 15 peers in the group of all corrections agencies, a high-confidence grade.

Staffing

Staffing data not available. The FBI's national staffing census (LEE) does not separately track county corrections facilities, sheriff's offices, or other county agencies in New Jersey -- only a single statewide Department of Corrections figure exists in that data. See the methodology for what FBI staffing data does and does not cover.

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.

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.

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.
