Bayonne
Police Department - Internal Affairs Unit
It is the policy of the Bayonne Police Department to accept and
investigate all complaints of agency and employee’s alleged
misconduct or wrongdoing from any citizen, department employee
or any other sources, including anonymous sources. Following a
thorough and impartial examination of the available factual
information, a conclusion will be determined and the employee
shall be either exonerated or held responsible for the alleged
misconduct. Discipline shall be administered according to the
degree of misconduct. Officers and employees,
regardless of rank, shall be subject to disciplinary action for
violating their oath and trust. Committing an offense
punishable under the laws of the United States, the State of New
Jersey, or Municipality constitutes a violation of that oath and
trust. Employees are also subject to disciplinary action for the
willful or negligent failure to perform the duties of their rank
or assignment. In addition, employees may be disciplined for
violation of any rule or regulation of the department or for
failure to obey any lawful instruction, order, or command of a
superior officer or supervisor. Disciplinary action in all
matters will be determined based upon the merits of each case.
