More than 800 disciplinary actions were recorded, including cases involving assault, drugs, and manslaughter.

Police departments throughout the state took major disciplinary action against more than 650 officers last year for a range of misconduct, including insubordination, drunken driving, domestic violence, aggravated assault, and manslaughter.

The state attorney general’s office released details about the cases in its annual major discipline report, a 560-page document posted to the agency’s website Friday afternoon, June 12, that’s meant to “increase transparency of police discipline and use of force.”

“Maintaining faith in government and trust in law enforcement requires that residents know the state holds law enforcement to the highest professional standards,” Attorney General Jennifer Davenport said in a statement about the release of the data. “Transparency and accountability are key to maintaining public confidence in our officers.”

In the report, the attorney general documented 817 disciplinary actions taken against 654 officers by 169 departments between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2025. The data includes only violations that led to a firing, demotion, or suspension of more than five days.

The most common violations involved attendance and leave abuse, such as excessive absenteeism or chronic lateness.

Other frequently cited categories include conduct unbecoming of a public employee, a catch-all term that covers an array of on- and off-duty behavior, and neglect of duty, which refers to cases in which officers failed to carry out their assigned responsibilities.

But some were far more serious.

Among them was North Bergen Det. Christopher Orellana, who was arrested on drug charges by the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office after authorities found him in possession of cocaine. He has been suspended while his case goes through the legal system.

Or Salem County Corrections Officer Christopher Griscom, who was suspended and charged with second-degree manslaughter after an off-duty incident in which a trailer he allegedly left sticking out into the road caused a fatal accident. His criminal charges are still pending.

And it includes Officer Joshua Munyon, an Atlantic City cop who allegedly coerced an in-custody suspect into performing an “act of sexual penetration” while the victim was under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. Authorities charged Munyon with aggravated sexual assault and suspended him without pay until the court resolves his case.

Every police department and law enforcement agency in the state must submit information for the report, which the agency has issued every year since 2020 and is based on data that has been publicly available since January.

The attorney general includes an officer only when the case is complete and all appeals have been exhausted. Pending cases are also excluded.

The agency also released a summary of internal affairs cases from last year that includes the number of cases, how many officers were cited in each investigation, and what the outcome was.

Last year, police agencies opened more than 16,000 investigations that stemmed from more than 11,000 incidents involving about 10,000 officers.

About a quarter of the complaints were sustained and resulted in oral or written reprimands in about 40% of cases.

More serious issues led to retraining, counseling, or suspension without pay, which accounted for about 32% of cases.

New Jersey law requires police departments to post their major discipline reports on their websites by Jan. 31 of each year. It is unclear why it took until mid-June for the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office to publish the 2025 data.
