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.
