East Brunswick Township Police Department

Reported as: East Brunswick Twp 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.

Radio encryption

East Brunswick Township Police Department encrypts its radio communications (P25 AES-256, all operations), according to PoliceRadioEncryption.com, as of 2026-03-06 (unverified).

AnalysisThis site treats radio encryption as a meaningful transparency signal. When a department closes its radio traffic to the public, the public loses a real-time window into how it operates. That is context for reading the discipline and internal affairs records on this page, not a figure drawn from them.

In brief

East Brunswick Township Police Department, a municipal police agency in Middlesex County, reported 7 officers named in internal affairs cases in 2025 and 7 investigations that year. Its rate of 100 per 100 officers was below the Middlesex County median of 125 and the 125.9 statewide municipal median. Read the gap with care: fewer investigations per officer can mean less misconduct or a department that puts less of it on paper. Of the 7 investigations detailed for 2025, 2 reported sustained complaints. Other Criminal Violation was the leading allegation category, followed by Other Departmental Rule Violation. Allegations are not findings.

One major discipline record appears across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2024, with no terminations reported. East Brunswick received an A on the report card, at the 16th percentile among 93 peers in the 60+ officers group, a medium-confidence grade.

Military surplus equipment (1033 program)

In brief

Written by this site from the figures below.

East Brunswick Township Police Department has the largest federal surplus record in this group: 28 line items received between 2014 and 2023, with a recorded value of $1,434,713 in original Department of Defense acquisition cost rather than current or market value. Of that, $1,429,454 is in categories this site classes as tactical. A single line item under Combat, assault, and tactical vehicles, wheeled accounts for $733,000, with Unmanned ground vehicles at $307,312 across two line items and Cameras, still picture at $131,921. Quantities are recorded separately by unit of issue: 517 under Each and 4 under Kit. These are transfers received over a decade, 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. This site's Militarization Index, an analysis of program intensity rather than an official statistic, puts East Brunswick Twp PD at $17,222 per officer, in the 99th percentile among 93 agencies in the 60+ officers band; a higher index is not automatically worse.

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.

AnalysisMilitarization Index: computed by this site, not an official statistic.

East Brunswick Township Police Department received $17,222 of tactical 1033 equipment value per sworn officer (original cost, divided by its latest FBI-reported staffing): the 99th percentile among municipal police agencies of similar size (60+ officers, n=93).

A higher index is not automatically worse. It divides cumulative transfers over the covered window by current staffing, so it measures how intensively an agency has participated in the program, not what it holds today. 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.

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

7 investigations reported for 2025^[1] ÷ 83 sworn officers the department reported to the FBI for 2025^[23] = 8.4 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.

Fatal encounters recorded involving this agency

From the independent Fatal Encounters dataset, 2000-2021

In brief (written by this site from the records below)

One record in the Fatal Encounters dataset names East Brunswick Township Police Department, from 2021. The as-recorded level of force in that record is listed as Vehicle, one of the categories the project used for deaths in pursuits and crashes. Fatal Encounters was an independent, crowdsourced journalism project, not a government source, and it documented deaths that occurred during police encounters of any kind. A record is not a finding of fault against the department or any officer. Collection ended in December 2021, so the dataset is frozen at that date.

Fatal Encounters is an independent, crowdsourced dataset that documented deaths during police encounters nationwide from 2000 until its collection ended in December 2021.^[4] 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 East Brunswick Township Police 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.

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 East Brunswick Township Police Department's internal affairs and discipline record?

East Brunswick Township Police Department, a municipal police agency in Middlesex County, reported 7 officers named in internal affairs cases in 2025 and 7 investigations that year. Its rate of 100 per 100 officers was below the Middlesex County median of 125 and the 125.9 statewide municipal median. Read the gap with care: fewer investigations per officer can mean less misconduct or a department that puts less of it on paper. Of the 7 investigations detailed for 2025, 2 reported sustained complaints. Other Criminal Violation was the leading allegation category, followed by Other Departmental Rule Violation. Allegations are not findings. One major discipline record appears across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2024, with no terminations reported. East Brunswick received an A on the report card, at the 16th percentile among 93 peers in the 60+ officers group, a medium-confidence grade.

TPAF covers certificated school staff, not only classroom teachers.
