Piscataway Township Police Department

Reported as: Piscataway 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

Piscataway Township Police Department named 32 officers in internal affairs cases in 2025 across 38 investigations. Its rate of 118.8 per 100 officers came in under the Middlesex County median of 125 and the 125.9 statewide municipal median. A rate on the low side can mean less misconduct or a department that documents fewer complaints, and the data does not settle which. Of the 38 investigations detailed for 2025, 1 reported a sustained complaint. Demeanor was the leading allegation category, followed by Harassment/Stalking and Differential Treatment.

One major discipline record appears across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2025. Piscataway Twp PD received an A on the report card, at the 4th 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.

Piscataway Township Police Department received 18 recorded line items between 2003 and 2022, all in categories this site classes as tactical, with a recorded value of $441,438 in original Department of Defense acquisition cost rather than current or market value. Almost all of that value is one item: Combat, assault, and tactical vehicles, wheeled at $432,955. The other 17 line items are Guns, through 30mm, recorded together at $8,483. These are transfers the department received over time, not a current inventory, and non-controlled items may be disposed of after one year. Receiving surplus equipment is not misconduct, and this federal data is separate in origin from the Attorney General discipline records.

Surplus military equipment transferred to this agency under the Defense Department's 1033 program, as recorded by the Defense Logistics Agency.

18 of 18 recorded transfers shown. Quantities are per unit of issue and are never summed across units. DEMIL code A: non-controlled property, may be disposed of after one year (so a listed item is not necessarily still held). Codes such as C, D, F, and Q: controlled property with federal return or demilitarization requirements.

AnalysisMilitarization Index: computed by this site, not an official statistic.

Piscataway Township Police Department received $5,319 of tactical 1033 equipment value per sworn officer (original cost, divided by its latest FBI-reported staffing): the 83rd 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.

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.

38 investigations reported for 2025[1] ÷ 83 sworn officers the department reported to the FBI for 2025[23] = 45.8 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)

One record in the Fatal Encounters dataset names Piscataway Township Police Department, in 2011. The dataset records the force on it, in its own as-recorded terms, as Gunshot. Fatal Encounters was an independent, crowdsourced journalism project, not a government source, and it documented deaths that occurred during police encounters of any kind, including vehicle pursuits, medical emergencies, and drownings. A record is not a finding of fault against any officer or against the department, and it carries no determination about what happened. Collection ended in December 2021 and the dataset has not been updated since, so it covers 2000 through 2021 and nothing after.

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 Piscataway 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.

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

Piscataway Township Police Department named 32 officers in internal affairs cases in 2025 across 38 investigations. Its rate of 118.8 per 100 officers came in under the Middlesex County median of 125 and the 125.9 statewide municipal median.

One major discipline record appears across the 2020-2025 releases, from 2025.
