Pine Hill Police Department

Reported as: Pine Hill 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

Pine Hill Police Department, a municipal agency in Camden County, reported 12 internal affairs investigations in 2025 and named 10 officers in those cases. Its rate of 120 per 100 officers ran below the Camden County median of 142.2 and the 125.9 municipal median, and a below-median rate can point to less misconduct or to complaints that never reach a file. Of the 12 investigations detailed for 2025, 1 reported a sustained complaint. Demeanor was the leading allegation category, ahead of Other Departmental Rule Violation and Improper Arrest.

Four major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2021, 2022 and 2024. Pine Hill PD received an F on the report card, at the 97th percentile among 171 peers in the 15-29 officers group, a medium-confidence grade.

AnalysisEvery ratio here is computed by this site from as-reported pensionable salaries. The local school figure comes from the pension employer "PINE HILL BOROUGH 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.

12 investigations reported for 2025[1] ÷ 24 sworn officers the department reported to the FBI for 2024[21] = 50.0 per 100 FBI-reported sworn officers (different years -- 2025 investigations against 2024 staffing -- so treat this figure as more approximate than the one above). 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 Pine Hill Borough, 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 Pine Hill Borough 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 Pine Hill Borough 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 Pine Hill Police Department's internal affairs and discipline record?

Pine Hill Police Department, a municipal agency in Camden County, reported 12 internal affairs investigations in 2025 and named 10 officers in those cases. Its rate of 120 per 100 officers ran below the Camden County median of 142.2 and the 125.9 municipal median, and a below-median rate can point to less misconduct or to complaints that never reach a file. Of the 12 investigations detailed for 2025, 1 reported a sustained complaint. Demeanor was the leading allegation category, ahead of Other Departmental Rule Violation and Improper Arrest. Four major discipline records appear across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2021, 2022 and 2024. Pine Hill PD received an F on the report card, at the 97th percentile among 171 peers in the 15-29 officers group, a medium-confidence grade.

How many major discipline records does Pine Hill Police Department have?

Pine Hill Police Department has 4 major discipline records in the Attorney General's 2020-2025 releases, of which 0 were terminations. These are final, adjudicated actions, not allegations.

Pine Hill Police Department reported 24 full-time sworn officers to the FBI's Law Enforcement Employees census for 2024, 0% of them female. That is 2.18 sworn officers per 1,000 residents. This is a different measurement from the "officers named in IA cases" figure elsewhere on this page, which counts distinct officers in that year's internal affairs investigations, not total staffing.

What does Pine Hill Police Department pay its officers compared with local school staff?

The median pensionable salary for the 19 active Pine Hill Police Department officers in the NJ Treasury pension file is $98,626. The median for the 216 TPAF-enrolled staff at PINE HILL BOROUGH BD OF ED is $75,559, a ratio of 1.31x. Against the Camden County school-staff median the ratio is 1.16x. These are pensionable base salaries: they exclude overtime, stipends, longevity and leave payouts for both groups, and a school contract year and a police work year are different lengths. TPAF covers certificated school staff, not only classroom teachers.
