In 2020, the Department Of Corrections suspended Senior Corrections Officer Alan Houghton for 10 days. The record cites a failure to follow proper safety and security procedures. Whether Houghton was terminated or demoted was not reported, and no other sanction was listed.
The amount is as reported by the New Jersey Department of the Treasury in its YourMoney pension data, as of March 31, 2026. It is the pension-basis figure and may not include overtime, accrued leave, stipends, or other pay. The link between this officer and this pension record is a records-based match at high confidence (matching name, exact employing agency, police-confirmed occupation, no competing candidate, and a scored match probability above the published floor; see the methodology), not a certified identity. If it is wrong, we will remove it: corrections.
