In brief

Haddon Township Police Department is a municipal police agency in Camden County. It named 16 officers in internal affairs cases in 2025 and reported 26 investigations, a rate of 162.5 per 100 officers, above the Camden County median of 142.2 and the statewide municipal median of 125.9. The distance from the medians can reflect a heavier volume of misconduct or a department that documents more of what residents and supervisors bring forward. Of the 26 investigations detailed for 2025, 9 reported sustained complaints. Other Departmental Rule Violation led the allegation categories, followed by Improper Arrest and Improper Entry.

No major discipline records appear in the 2020-2025 releases, and the absence of records is not a finding. Haddon Twp PD received a D on the report card, at the 79th percentile among 171 peers in the 15-29 officers group, a high-confidence grade.

AnalysisEvery ratio here is computed by this site from as-reported pensionable salaries. The local school figure comes from the pension employer "HADDON TOWNSHIP BD OF ED", 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 Camden 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.

26 investigations reported for 2025[1] ÷ 28 sworn officers the department reported to the FBI for 2025[22] = 92.9 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)

Two records in the Fatal Encounters dataset name Haddon Township Police Department, from 2009 through 2012. In the dataset's own as-recorded terms, the force is listed as Asphyxiated/Restrained in one and Gunshot in one. The dataset comes from Fatal Encounters, an independent crowdsourced journalism project that logged deaths occurring during police encounters of any kind, including vehicle pursuits, overdoses, and medical emergencies. A record means a death occurred during an encounter with the agency named in the as-reported agency field; it is not a finding of fault. Collection ended in December 2021, so the dataset is frozen at that point and later years are simply not covered.

Fatal Encounters is an independent, crowdsourced dataset that documented deaths during police encounters nationwide from 2000 until its collection ended in December 2021.[3] 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 Haddon 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.

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.[4] 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 Haddon Township, the municipal records custodian, which also fields requests about permits, property, and code enforcement. Only the 20 requests whose subject line indicates it concerns the police department are counted below. The other 101 filed to Haddon 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 Haddon 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 Haddon Township Police Department's internal affairs and discipline record?

Haddon Township Police Department is a municipal police agency in Camden County.

The distance from the medians can reflect a heavier volume of misconduct or a department that documents more of what residents and supervisors bring forward. Of the 26 investigations detailed for 2025, 9 reported sustained complaints. Other Departmental Rule Violation led the allegation categories, followed by Improper Arrest and Improper Entry. No major discipline records appear in the 2020-2025 releases, and the absence of records is not a finding.

How many deaths during police encounters are recorded for Haddon Township Police Department?

The independent Fatal Encounters dataset contains 2 records naming Haddon Township Police Department, from 2009 through 2012.

TPAF covers certificated school staff, not only classroom teachers.
