Synopsis as reported by the agency

On August 30, 2023, Detective Clegg provided a false record of events that occurred on August 28, 2023, in a meeting with his superior officers. During that meeting, he stated the firearm in his personal vehicle was an empty holster and empty magazine, which was contrary to Essex County Sheriff' Ortiz' report and BWC footage.

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.
