Synopsis as reported by the agency
This 2025 investigation arose out of an incident where Det. Griffith appeared in court, in his personal capacity and on his day off, to support an acquaintance who was appearing to be sentenced on a criminal matter. When a supervisor was alerted that Det. Griffith may have been there to testify for the defendant, he called Det. Griffith, and later, instructed him to write a memo regarding his location and the purpose of his presence there. In the memo, Det. Griffith said he was near the courthouse when his supervisor called him, but the investigation revealed that he was already at the courthouse when his supervisor called.
Compensation and pension
No confident pension match found. This site links a pension record to a named officer only when the name and the exact employing agency both match a New Jersey Treasury record. Where that bar is not met, nothing is shown rather than a guess. See methodology for how these matches are made and what is withheld.
