About this data

Records on this page come from the Attorney General's major discipline releases: final, post-appeal discipline as reported by the employing agency. They are sustained charges, not allegations.
All figures are self-reported by agencies to the New Jersey Attorney General and shown as reported. Blank fields read "not reported," never "no."
Data is a yearly snapshot. Cases are not tracked across years, and major discipline appears only in the year it became final after all appeals.
In internal affairs data, allegations are not findings: many complaints end unfounded, exonerated, or not sustained.
Any compensation figure below comes from New Jersey Treasury pension data, a separate source from the discipline records. It is matched to this officer by name and employing agency at high confidence, not by certified identity.

Full caveats and definitions: methodology. To request a correction against the official record: corrections.

Plain-language summary (this site, from the cited record only)

A Use of Force Committee determined on August 28, 2024, that force used by East Jersey State Prison Senior Correctional Police Officer Bryan Reddie against an incarcerated person was not in accordance with policy and was excessive, the Department of Corrections reported. Reddie deployed his Oleoresin Capsicum spray immediately upon arriving at a cell where the person was sitting on his bunk and not presenting an immediate threat, and he gave no warning or opportunity to comply. Reddie signed a settlement agreement for a 90-day suspension.

Synopsis as reported by the agency

On 8/28/24, the New Jersey Department of Corrections (NJDOC) Use of Force Committee determined that the mechanical use of force used by East Jersey State Prison’s Senior Correctional Police Officer (SCPO) Bryan Reddie against an incarcerated person at East Jersey State Prison was not in accordance with the NJDOC Use of Force policy and was deemed excessive. Specifically, SCPO Reddie deployed his department-issued Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) spray immediately upon arrival to a cell where an incarcerated person was observed sitting on his bunk not presenting an immediate threat to the Officer. The type and intensity of force used by the SCPO Reddie was not proportional to the actions presented by the incarcerated person. SCPO Reddie did not issue any warning or give the incarcerated person an opportunity to comply before using force and deploying the OC spray. During the investigation, SCPO Reddie's report was determined to contain inaccuracies. SCPO Reddie signed a settlement agreement for a 90-day suspension on 1/31/25.
