In brief
The Camden County Sheriff's Department reported 87 internal affairs investigations in 2025 and 57 officers named in those cases, up from 68 investigations in 2024. Its rate of 152.6 per 100 officers ran well above the 115.2 median for sheriff agencies. Higher volume is not self-explaining: it can track more misconduct or a department that writes up more of the complaints it receives. Of the 87 investigations detailed for 2025, 24 reported sustained complaints. Other Departmental Rule Violation led at 25, followed by Excessive Force at 13 and Insubordination/Disobeying An Order at 11.
Fourteen major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, with records in every year from 2020 through 2025, including 5 terminations. The department received an F on the report card, at the 98th percentile among 21 peers in the group of all sheriff 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)
In brief
Written by this site from the figures below.
Camden County Sheriff's Department has the longest recorded run in this shard of the federal surplus data: 35 line items received between 1993 and 2016, valued at $156,241 in original Department of Defense acquisition cost rather than current or market value. All 35 fall in categories this site classes as tactical. Guns, through 30mm accounts for $92,829 across 33 line items, with Visible and invisible light communication equipment at $57,632 and Optical sighting and ranging equipment at $5,780. Quantities are recorded separately by unit of issue: 1 under Kit and 50 under Each. These are transfers received across three decades, not a current inventory, and non-controlled items may be disposed of after one year. Receiving surplus equipment through the federal program is not misconduct, and this data is separate in origin from the Attorney General discipline records on this page.
Surplus military equipment transferred to this agency under the Defense Department's 1033 program, as recorded by the Defense Logistics Agency.
Quantities received, by unit of issue: 50 items (Each); 1 (Kit). Units of issue differ (an item and a kit are not the same thing), so no single combined item count exists.

Categories received: tactical vs mundane
Each category is classed tactical or mundane by this site's published classification of its Federal Supply Class. Much of what moves through the program is mundane surplus (tools, office and medical equipment); the tactical rows are what the Militarization Index below measures.

35 of 35 recorded transfers shown. Quantities are per unit of issue and are never summed across units. DEMIL code A: non-controlled property, may be disposed of after one year (so a listed item is not necessarily still held). Codes such as C, D, F, and Q: controlled property with federal return or demilitarization requirements.
No index is computed for this agency: there is no reliable per-officer basis (no high-confidence FBI staffing match to divide by). See the methodology.

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.

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)
A single record in the Fatal Encounters dataset names Camden County Sheriff's Department, dated 2018. The dataset gives the force label, as recorded, as Gunshot. Fatal Encounters is an independent, crowdsourced journalism project that documented deaths occurring during police encounters of any kind, including vehicle pursuits, deaths in police presence, and medical emergencies. A record is not a finding of fault against the agency or any officer, and it is not connected to the Attorney General discipline records elsewhere on this page. The project stopped collecting in December 2021, so the dataset is frozen and nothing after that date appears here.
Fatal Encounters is an independent, crowdsourced dataset that documented deaths during police encounters nationwide from 2000 until its collection ended in December 2021.[3] 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 Camden County Sheriff's Departmentis 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.

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.
