The Dept Of Corrections suspended Senior Correctional Police Officer Patrick Ferrea for 20 days in 2022. The sustained record states that Ferrea conducted an improper strip search that allowed a weapon to be brought into the Congregate Interaction Module by an inmate. The sustained charges included neglect of duty and violation of a rule, regulation, policy, procedure, order or administrative decision.
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.
