NJSP IA complaint form

This form may be used to make a referral to the Office of Law Enforcement Professional Standards (OLEPS) about potential misconduct within the New Jersey State Police, or allegations of misconduct by a member of the New Jersey State Police towards a member of the public. OLEPS will accept reports of misconduct from any person -- including members of the State Police, members of the public, and anonymous sources -- at any time. Complaints are not limited to concerns about an individual Trooper’s actions. Complaints may also arise from a pattern of misconduct involving multiple Troopers or an agency practice, or from the actions of civilians employed by the State Police. You can also submit complaints about members of the State Police who are no longer currently employed by the State Police; those complaints will be reviewed to determine if there is any action that could be taken or if there are any referrals to make to other agencies.

Person Making Report

You may make your internal affairs complaint or allegation of misconduct anonymously. Section 5.1.2 of the New Jersey Attorney General’s Internal Affairs Policy & Procedures (IAPP) requires agencies to accept and investigate internal affairs complaints from all persons who wish to file a complaint, including anonymous sources. Under no circumstances shall it be necessary for you to make a sworn statement to initiate the internal affairs process. The IAPP applies to all sworn law enforcement employees but can also be applied to civilian employees. IAPP 1.0.1.

Your identity is not required. However, it may be helpful in the event of follow-up questions. OLEPS supports full cooperation from you; allegations are best investigated with the most information, details, and evidence that can be provided by complainants, witnesses, and sources.
