On 30 June, 1 July and 2 July 2023, Officer Williams requested vacation time off. Officer Williams was informed that her vacation time would be denied due to patrol minimums. Officer Williams admittedly called out sick for 3 of her 4 scheduled work days and was out of state.
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.
