East Greenwich Township Police Department

Reported as: East Greenwich 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.

In brief

East Greenwich Township Police Department is a municipal police agency in Gloucester County. It reported 12 officers named in internal affairs cases in 2025 and 15 investigations that year, a rate of 125 per 100 officers. That ran just above the Gloucester County median of 124.3 and just below the 125.9 statewide municipal median. A department near the middle of the distribution can be average in misconduct, average in documentation, or both. Of the 15 investigations detailed for 2025, 2 reported sustained complaints. Other Departmental Rule Violation was the leading allegation category, with Demeanor and Preventable MV Accident following.

Five major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, including two terminations. East Greenwich received an F on the report card, at the 96th percentile among 171 peers in the 15-29 officers group, a medium-confidence grade.

The local school figure comes from the pension employer "EAST GREENWICH BD OF EDUCATION", linked to this municipality only because exactly one district in the county resolves to it. A pay comparison is not a statement about either budget. The full county comparison, including the distribution and the tenure-adjusted figure, is on the Gloucester County pay page.

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.

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.

15 investigations reported for 2025[1] ÷ 19 sworn officers the department reported to the FBI for 2025[21] = 78.9 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.

Public records requests

Records requests about this department filed through OPRAmachine, an independent site that files Open Public Records Act requests in public and publishes the responses.[3] This is a third-party, user-generated source, separate in origin from the Attorney General records elsewhere on this page.

Current as of 12 July 2026. These figures are a point-in-time snapshot and do not update: requests filed to OPRAmachine after that date do not appear here. For live activity, see this body on OPRAmachine.

This department has no separate listing on OPRAmachine. Records requests for it are handled through East Greenwich Township, the municipal records custodian, which also fields requests about permits, property, and code enforcement. Only the 12 requests whose subject line indicates it concerns the police department are counted below. The other 60 filed to East Greenwich Township are about something else and are not shown.

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 count is an undercount, by design. Requests to East Greenwich Township are sorted by subject line, because that custodian also handles permits, property, and code enforcement. A request that is genuinely about the police but carries a vague subject line, and many do read only “OPRA Request,” is not counted here. The sorting is this site's own reading of the request titles, not a fact from the source, and it is deliberately cautious: it would rather miss a police request than show you somebody's building permit.

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 Greenwich Township Police Department's internal affairs and discipline record?

East Greenwich Township Police Department is a municipal police agency in Gloucester County. It reported 12 officers named in internal affairs cases in 2025 and 15 investigations that year, a rate of 125 per 100 officers.

A department near the middle of the distribution can be average in misconduct, average in documentation, or both. Of the 15 investigations detailed for 2025, 2 reported sustained complaints. Other Departmental Rule Violation was the leading allegation category, with Demeanor and Preventable MV Accident following. Five major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, including two terminations.

East Greenwich Township Police Department reported 19 full-time sworn officers to the FBI's Law Enforcement Employees census for 2025, 5.3% of them female. That is 1.49 sworn officers per 1,000 residents.

TPAF covers certificated school staff, not only classroom teachers.
