In 2020, Officer Scott Ritter was suspended for 40 days by the Asbury Park Police Department for neglect of duty. The record states that Ritter was involved in a motor vehicle crash that he failed to report.
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.
