The 2022 Major Discipline report for New Jersey police is out, releasing nearly 200 pages of officer faux pas, blunders, and outright crimes to the public.

A relatively new practice, the OAG last year released its first report detailing which police officers were fired, suspended, or demoted and the reasons they faced disciplinary actions. Police departments are required to post the details online and submit them to the OAG.

Following criticism from groups such as the ACLU that the report was not detailed enough, Attorney General Matthew Platkin in November issued a directive to expand reporting.

"By embracing greater transparency, the vast majority of New Jersey’s law enforcement officers who serve with honor, professionalism, and courage, are better able to carry out their duties more effectively and safely in service to the people of our state," Platkin said.

While the report is for 2022, cases may be from 2021 or earlier; law enforcement agencies only submit these details once the discipline is final.

Lateness, taking too many sick days, DUIs, and use of excessive force are reasons for discipline that appear frequently throughout the OAG report. But some stories in the report rise above the rest for their eye-popping details.
