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), with appeals that usually go to the Superior Court rather than the Civil Service Commission.

On the report card it received a grade of A, which places it at the 16th percentile of its peer group of departments with 1 to 14 officers, 361 peers in all. A higher volume of internal affairs activity can reflect either more misconduct or a stronger reporting culture.
