Major Discipline Reporting
January 1, 2021- December 31, 2021
AG Directive 2021-6 required all New Jersey law enforcement agencies to submit to the Attorney General
their first “Major Discipline Reporting Form,” which covered discipline imposed between January 1, 2021
and December 31, 2021. “Major discipline” is defined as terminations, reductions in rank, or suspension
of more than five days.
A few notes on the submissions:
For 2021, the Attorney General’s Office updated the submission form for Major Discipline to include
specification of the specific “sustained charge” for each officer. A number of agencies did not use this
updated form, instead using the form from previous years. This appears on individual submissions as “Not
Provided.”
Agencies report officers serving Major Discipline only once the discipline is final. The road to a
determination of final discipline may include many appeals. Thus, officers suspended in 2021 for whom
the discipline determination is not final will not appear on this form.
1
Similarly, officers with discipline
initiated in a prior year, but finalized in 2021, will appear in this report.
Submissions appear as provided. There are no corrections to grammar or inconsistent information.
Agencies are required to report Major Discipline for the prior year by January 31
st
of the following year.
Below is a listing of the submissions for 2021 Major Discipline, as reported by February 16, 2022. Refer to
the left-side footer of this document for the date of update.
1
Submissions indicating discipline is still “pending” were removed and do not appear in this report or the
accompanying data file.
