How to file a complaint about a New Jersey State Police officer
The New Jersey State Police serves roughly 9,290,841 residents. If you had a problem with an officer, you have three distinct ways to file a complaint — and they are not equivalent. Here is how each one works in West Trenton, based on Sivil's audit of public records and agency websites.
1. NJ Office of the State Comptroller — independent civilian oversight
The NJ Office of the State Comptroller is a civilian agency that reviews complaints about New Jersey State Police officers outside the department's own chain of command — your complaint is not investigated by colleagues of the officer involved. It accepts anonymous complaints, so you can file without giving your name. No notarization is required to file.
