In brief
Stevens Institute Of Technology Police Department appears in the Hudson County data as a municipal police agency. It named 2 officers in internal affairs cases in 2025 and reported 2 investigations, a rate of 100 per 100 officers, against a Hudson County median of 138.9 and a statewide municipal median of 125.9. A rate under the medians can mean fewer complaints or a lighter documentation practice. Of the 2 investigations detailed for 2025, 1 reported sustained complaints. The allegations recorded were Differential Treatment and Harassment/Stalking.
No major discipline records appear in the 2020-2025 releases, and the absence of records is not a finding. Stevens Institute Of Technology received an A on the report card, at the 18th percentile among 171 peers in the 15-29 officers group, a medium-confidence grade.

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.
Officer pay and school-staff pay
No median officer salary is published for Stevens Institute Of Technology Police Department. A department needs at least 10 active officers resolved to it in the NJ Treasury pension file before this site shows a median. That threshold is about the stability of the figure, not about the department. The county-level comparison is on the Hudson 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.

Against peers, 2025
How this grade was built →| Stevens Institute Of Technology Police Department | 100.0 |
|---|---|
| County median, municipal police (13) | 138.9 |
| NJ median, municipal police (445) | 125.9 |
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.
2 investigations reported for 2025[1] ÷ 22 sworn officers the department reported to the FBI for 2025[8] = 9.1 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.

Major discipline records
No major discipline records appear for this agency in the 2020-2025 releases. Absence of records is not a finding; see the methodology for what this data does and does not cover.
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.
