Tactical acquisition value, 1993 to 2026.

Not on this map: the State Police, the Department of Corrections, Transit Police, and other state-level agencies. They operate across county lines and the Attorney General reports them outside the county system, so their activity appears in no county here. They are in the rankings.

Acquired over the life of the program as of the file's date, not current inventory. Receiving equipment is not misconduct. Counties with no matched recipient agency are shown as not reported.

Recorded transfers in each county, sorted by tactical equipment value. County names link to each county's own 1033 rollup.

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

Original acquisition value of tactical 1033 equipment received (per the published tactical/mundane classification), per sworn officer, as a percentile among same-size agencies.

How the index is built, and what it cannot support, are set out in the methodology.

Recipients without a department page

Every recipient name in the current file either matches a department page at high confidence or awaits review before it is attributed; the small unattributed remainder is stated above. When a recipient name cannot be confidently resolved, it will be listed here rather than silently dropped.

Matches between federal recipient names and department pages are this site's inference, not a certified mapping. If one is wrong, we will fix it: corrections.

Questions and answers

How much surplus military equipment have New Jersey police received?

The Defense Logistics Agency's file, as of 2026-06-30, records 1,946 transfer line items to New Jersey law enforcement with an original acquisition cost of $41,791,490. Values are what the Department of Defense originally paid, not current or market value, and the records are transfers received over time, not a current inventory.

Does receiving 1033 equipment mean a department did something wrong?

No. The 1033 program is a lawful federal program that transfers surplus Defense Department property to law enforcement agencies. Receiving equipment through it is not misconduct, and much of what moves through the program is mundane surplus such as tools, office equipment, and medical supplies. This page is federal transfer data, separate in origin from the Attorney General discipline records on the rest of this site.

Do these agencies still hold this equipment?

Not necessarily. The file records transfers received over time, not current holdings. Non-controlled items (DEMIL code A) may be disposed of after one year, so an item acquired years ago may be long gone. No public file records what each agency currently holds.

What is the Militarization Index?

The Militarization Index is an analysis figure computed by this site, not an official statistic: Original acquisition value of tactical 1033 equipment received (per the published tactical/mundane classification), per sworn officer, as a percentile among same-size agencies. It appears on department pages that have both a 1033 record and an FBI staffing match. A higher index is not automatically worse; it measures how intensively an agency has participated in the program, not what it holds today.
