Militarization Index: tactical 1033 value per sworn officer

Filter by civil service jurisdiction

Whether the Title 4A civil service framework governs a department's discipline. Context, not a performance signal, and not part of any grade. Rank numbers reflect the full ranking.

Filter by FBI-reported staffing size

Bands use each department's latest FBI-reported sworn-officer count, the same bands the report-card peer grouping uses. Context, not part of the ranking itself; rank numbers reflect the full ranking.

Filter by military surplus (1033 program) transfers

Whether an agency received surplus equipment through the federal DoD 1033 program. Transfers over time at original DoD cost, not current holdings; acquiring equipment is not misconduct and is not part of any ranking or grade. "No recorded transfers" means none matched to this agency in the data, not a verified zero. Rank numbers reflect the full ranking.

Questions and answers

Which New Jersey agency ranks highest on Militarization Index?

Among municipal police agencies, Hi-Nella Police Department (Camden) reported the highest figure across the 2020-2025 releases, at $41,061 per sworn officer. Agencies are ranked within their own type, never against each other across types. A higher figure is what the agency reported, not a finding about it: reporting more can mean an agency that documents more.

How many agencies are ranked on Militarization Index?

165 agencies across 2 agency types have a computable figure for this measure across the 2020-2025 releases. Agencies the source does not report a usable number for are listed without a rank rather than counted as zero, because a blank is not a zero.

What does the Militarization Index ranking measure?

Original DoD acquisition value of tactical-classed 1033 equipment an agency has received over the life of the program, divided by its FBI-reported sworn officers. An analysis figure by this site: it measures how intensively an agency has participated in a lawful federal program, not what it holds today, and receiving surplus equipment is not misconduct. Tactical acquisition value (transfers received over time, never current inventory) divided by the latest FBI LEE sworn count. Agencies with no recorded 1033 transfers or no confident staffing match are not listed; absence is not a zero claim.
