Major Discipline Reporting
AG Directive 2021-6 requires each law enforcement agency in New Jersey to submit to the Attorney General an annual report of all major discipline imposed by that agency on its officers. “Major discipline” is defined as terminations, reductions in rank, or suspension of more than five days. Below you can find each annual report. Please note: As AG Directive 2021-6 went into effect on June 15, 2020, only major discipline issued on or after June 15, 2020 will appear in the 2020 report.
