In brief

New Jersey Institute Of Technology, classified as an other agency in Essex County, reported 23 internal affairs investigations in 2025 and 13 officers named in those cases. Its rate of 176.9 per 100 officers matched the Essex County median of 176.9 and ran above the 121.6 median for other agencies. A rate at that level can indicate more misconduct or a force that documents its complaints more completely. Of the 23 investigations detailed for 2025, 9 reported sustained complaints. Other Departmental Rule Violation led with 7 cases, followed by Conduct Unbecoming/Discredit To The Agency at 5 and Demeanor at 3.

Five major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2022 and 2023, none of them terminations. The site does not grade New Jersey Institute Of Technology, because it has too few peers: only 6 agencies sit in its group of all other agencies.

The match between this FBI record and this department is this site's inference, not a certified mapping. If it is wrong, we will remove it: corrections.

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.

23 investigations reported for 2025^[1] ÷ 40 sworn officers the department reported to the FBI for 2025^[18] = 57.5 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.

Report card

Not graded: too few peers

Fewer than 8 comparable agencies (all other agencies); a percentile grade would be noise.

Confidence: Medium confidence

small agency; per-officer rates swing widely on a handful of cases

How the grade is built

Three components, each a percentile within the peer group. The combined standing is their weighted mean, re-ranked among peers; the grade is the fifth of the peer group it lands in.

IA volumeweight 40%

Discipline severityweight 40%

not computable

79.7 severity-weighted discipline per 100 officers, 2020-2025

Major discipline records weighted by sanction (termination 4, demotion 3, suspension 2, other 1) per 100 officers.

Mean severity tier of IA allegations across 2021-2025, using the published tier map; unknown values excluded.

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

No records-request history is shown for this department. OPRAmachine, an independent site that files and publishes Open Public Records Act requests, has no public body that confidently matches this department, so this site does not assert one. That does not mean nobody has requested records from it. (Checked against a snapshot of OPRAmachine taken 12 July 2026.) See the methodology for how the match is made.
