In brief
The Salem Police Department is a municipal police agency in Salem County. Its sworn staffing for the latest reporting year was not reported, and no internal affairs investigation count was available for a recent year.

One major discipline record appears in the 2020 through 2025 releases, and it was not a termination. The site does not grade this agency because its officer count was not reported, leaving it with no peer group for comparison.
