Category: NJ Police Internal Affairs Complaints
Whenever I read a court decision or receive other information suggesting that a police officer in New Jersey has engaged in misconduct, I typically file an Internal Affairs complaint. Since records of Internal Affairs cases are confidential and never disclosed to the public, I believe that posting the complaints and dispositions on this blog may help the public better understand how seriously various Internal Affairs units regard citizen complaints.
Even though they don’t identify the officers involved or the offenses charged, the 2013 and 2014 “Internal Affairs Case Summary Reports” (on-line here) do give some information on the number of IA complaints filed against sworn officers and civilian employees of the Cape May County Sheriff’s Office.
