No ‘Major Discipline’ For East Windsor Police Officers Last Year, Latest Report Shows

EAST WINDSOR, NJ — The East Windsor Police Department didn't experience any "major discipline cases" last year, according to a new report from the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office.

On Monday, the state AG's office released its annual Major Discipline Report, which lists details for hundreds of police officers in the state. The report covers the period from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2024.

According to the attorney general’s office, “major discipline” is defined as terminations, reductions in rank, or suspension of more than five days. Pending cases are not included in the dataset.

The East Windsor Police Department was one of several in Mercer County that didn't experience any major discipline reports last year.

Others without any cases include:

• College Of New Jersey PD
• Ewing Twp PD
• Hightstown PD
• Hopewell Twp PD
• Pennington Boro PD
• Princeton PD

According to statewide statistics, there were 644 major discipline actions taken by 172 police agencies against 543 officers in New Jersey last year. The most frequently occurring offenses were related to attendance, including lateness and call-outs too close to the start of a shift.

Attorney General Matthew Platkin said that the vast majority of New Jersey’s police officers risk their own safety to protect others and to serve their communities. These officers “conduct themselves with honor and courage,” he said.

“Publicly releasing this data about the handling of disciplinary matters helps maintain the public’s trust in those dedicated, hardworking men and women of law enforcement,” Platkin said.
