In brief
Hackensack Police Department, a municipal police agency in Bergen County, named 17 officers in internal affairs cases in 2025 and reported 23 investigations, well off the 271 it reported in 2023. Its rate of 135.3 per 100 officers ran above the Bergen County median of 125.3 and the statewide municipal median of 125.9. Swings this large say as much about reporting practice as about conduct: a higher rate can mean more misconduct or a department that documents more complaints. Of the 23 investigations detailed for 2025, 5 reported sustained complaints. Other Departmental Rule Violation led the allegation categories, followed by Theft and Demeanor.
Three major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2022, 2023 and 2025. Hackensack PD received a B on the report card, at the 38th percentile among 93 peers in the 60+ officers group, a high-confidence grade.

Military surplus equipment (1033 program)
In brief
Written by this site from the figures below.
Hackensack Police Department received 85 recorded line items of surplus military equipment between 2002 and 2026, with a total recorded value of $1,051,061 in original Department of Defense acquisition cost rather than current or market value. Categories this site classes as tactical account for $1,041,337 of that total. The largest by recorded value were Night vision equipment, emitted and reflected radiation at $674,020, Trucks and truck tractors, wheeled at $269,995, and Guns, through 30mm at $35,033. These are transfers the department received across more than two 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: 597 items (Each); 120 (Package); 3 (Kit); 2 (Assembly). Units of issue differ (an item and a kit are not the same thing), so no single combined item count exists.

Hackensack Police Department received $9,917 of tactical 1033 equipment value per sworn officer (original cost, divided by its latest FBI-reported staffing): the 91st 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.

How this grade was built →| Hackensack Police Department | 135.3 |
|---|---|
| County median, municipal police (60) | 125.3 |
| NJ median, municipal police (445) | 125.9 |
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.
23 investigations reported for 2025[1] ÷ 105 sworn officers the department reported to the FBI for 2025[23] = 21.9 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.

Fatal encounters recorded involving this agency
From the independent Fatal Encounters dataset, 2000-2021
In brief (written by this site from the records below)
Five records in the Fatal Encounters dataset name Hackensack Police Department, spanning 2000 through 2016. The force labels, as recorded by the project, are Gunshot in four, and Vehicle in one. 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.[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 Hackensack 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.

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.[5] 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 Hackensack City, the municipal records custodian, which also fields requests about permits, property, and code enforcement. Only the 23 requests whose subject line indicates it concerns the police department are counted below. The other 149 filed to Hackensack City 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 Hackensack City 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 Hackensack Police Department's internal affairs and discipline record?
Hackensack Police Department, a municipal police agency in Bergen County, named 17 officers in internal affairs cases in 2025 and reported 23 investigations, well off the 271 it reported in 2023. Its rate of 135.3 per 100 officers ran above the Bergen County median of 125.3 and the statewide municipal median of 125.9. Swings this large say as much about reporting practice as about conduct: a higher rate can mean more misconduct or a department that documents more complaints.
