The Internal Affairs Unit of the Warren Township Police Department operates in accordance with the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General’s Guidelines on Internal Affairs Policy and Procedures. The purpose of the internal affairs function is to establish a mechanism for the receipt, investigation, and resolution of complaints involving officer misconduct.
The Warren Township Police Department Internal Affairs Unit accepts and documents all citizen complaints against law enforcement personnel employed within Warren Township. All persons who wish to file a complaint may do so, regardless of the hour or the day of the week. The Warren Township Police Department assures the people of Warren Township that all complaints of alleged police misconduct are properly handled. Investigators conducting the investigation of any allegation of misconduct shall strive to conduct a thorough and objective investigation respecting the rights of the principal, any other law enforcement officer, and all members of the public.
The exact discipline imposed is confidential, but you will be advised of the ultimate finding, namely:
>Sustained: A preponderance of the evidence shows an officer violated any law; regulation; directive, guideline, policy, or procedure issued by the Attorney General or County Prosecutor; agency protocol; standing operating procedure; rule; or training.
>Unfounded: A preponderance of the evidence shows that the alleged misconduct did not occur.
>Exonerated: A preponderance of the evidence shows the alleged conduct did occur but did not violate any law; regulation; directive, guideline, policy, or procedure issued by the Attorney General or County Prosecutor; agency protocol; standing operating procedure; rule; or training.
>Not Sustained: The investigation failed to disclose sufficient evidence to clearly prove or disprove the allegation.
If our investigation shows that the complaint is unfounded or that the officer acted properly, the matter will be closed.
Internal affairs investigations are confidential, and all disciplinary hearings shall be closed to the public unless the defendant officer requests an open hearing.
