In brief

Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office is a county prosecutor agency in Cumberland County. It reported 5 officers named in internal affairs cases in 2025 and 5 investigations that year, a rate of 100 per 100 officers. That matched the Cumberland County median of 100 and ran below the 107.5 median for prosecutor agencies. Comparisons of this kind cut two ways: a rate near or under the median can reflect less misconduct or a thinner record of the complaints an office receives. Of the 5 investigations detailed for 2025, 1 reported sustained complaints. Other Departmental Rule Violation led the categories, with Sexual Assault/Criminal Sexual Violation and DUI/DWI Off Duty also listed. Allegations are not findings.

Two major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, both from 2023, including one termination. The office received a C on the report card, at the 55th percentile among 21 peers in the all prosecutor agencies group, a high-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.

Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office100.0
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.

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

5 investigations reported for 2025[1] ÷ 34 sworn officers the department reported to the FBI for 2025[19] = 14.7 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.

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.

Questions and answers

What is a summary of Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office's internal affairs and discipline record?

Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office is a county prosecutor agency in Cumberland County. It reported 5 officers named in internal affairs cases in 2025 and 5 investigations that year, a rate of 100 per 100 officers. That matched the Cumberland County median of 100 and ran below the 107.5 median for prosecutor agencies. Comparisons of this kind cut two ways: a rate near or under the median can reflect less misconduct or a thinner record of the complaints an office receives. Of the 5 investigations detailed for 2025, 1 reported sustained complaints. Other Departmental Rule Violation led the categories, with Sexual Assault/Criminal Sexual Violation and DUI/DWI Off Duty also listed. Allegations are not findings. Two major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, both from 2023, including one termination. The office received a C on the report card, at the 55th percentile among 21 peers in the all prosecutor agencies group, a high-confidence grade.

How many internal affairs investigations did Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office report in 2025?

Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office reported 5 internal affairs investigations in 2025, according to New Jersey Attorney General data. 5 distinct officers were named in that year's IA investigations.

How many major discipline records does Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office have?

Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office has 2 major discipline records in the Attorney General's 2020-2025 releases, of which 1 were terminations. These are final, adjudicated actions, not allegations.

How many officers does Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office have?

Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office reported 34 full-time sworn officers to the FBI's Law Enforcement Employees census for 2025, 23.5% of them female. This is a different measurement from the "officers named in IA cases" figure elsewhere on this page, which counts distinct officers in that year's internal affairs investigations, not total staffing.
