DEVELOPMENT The New Jersey Uniform Crime Reporting Law (N.J.S.A. 52:17 B-5.1 et. seq.) was enacted on May 16, 1966, and became effective January 1, 1967. Responsibility for the establishment, direction, control, and supervision of the Uniform Crime Reporting System was assigned to the State’s Attorney General. The Attorney General authorized the New Jersey State Police to collect and collate the crime data received from law enforcement agencies within the state. At the request of the Attorney General, the New Jersey State Police researched crime systems in operation throughout the nation in order to establish a firm foundation from which to grow. The most logical approach was the paralleling of the federal crime reporting system. There was a distinct need for a compatibility feature that would enhance both the state and federal systems through the data entry at both levels. This compatibility has, as its nucleus, the standard classification of offenses established by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Regardless of the label placed on a particular offense in the various states’ systems, i.e., felony, misdemeanor, disorderly persons, if the incident meets the federal standard it will be reported as an offense. The terms “crime” and “offense” are used interchangeably in this publication, and refer to an act committed in violation of a law which is reportable under the guidelines of the Uniform Crime Reporting Program. The New Jersey State Chiefs of Police Association has served the program in an advisory capacity since 1966. The contributions of this association have proved valuable to the success of the program. This association works in close harmony with the State Police as a means of improving the quality of reporting through recommended program standards, policies and procedures. COLLECTION OF CRIME DATA As required by statute, all law enforcement agencies in the state submit monthly and annual summary crime reports to the program. During the year 1995, offense and arrest data were received from 480 full-time municipal police departments, four part-time municipal police departments, and the New Jersey State Police (acting as the reporting agent for the 73 municipalities without local police services.) In addition to the 480 full-time municipal police departments there are nine (9) police departments contracted by other municipalities. In addition to the above agencies, arrest data was received from the state’s twenty-one (21) prosecutors, sheriffs’ departments, four (4) county police departments, and three (3) county park police departments. In order to incorporate all New Jersey law enforcement agencies under the system, the nine (9) other state agencies with law enforcement responsibilities, as well as thirteen (13) college campus police departments were incorporated within the program. Collectively, a total of 556 law enforcement agencies submit the reports to the New Jersey State Police. METHOD A State of New Jersey Uniform Crime Reporting Guide has been distributed to all contributors. It outlines reporting procedures in detail, and is complete to the extent of providing examples and illustrations. Field representatives provide additional instruction and clarification when required. All reported offenses are related to the municipality in which they occur rather than to the agency which may conduct the investigation. The clearance is credited to the municipality in which the offense occurred. Each contributing agency is responsible for compiling its own reports. Law enforcement agencies report the number of known offenses according to the following categories: Homicide (Murder and Manslaughter), Rape, Robbery, Burglary, Larceny-Theft, Motor Vehicle Theft, and Arson. The “Crime in New Jersey,” and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s “Crime in the United States” publications exclude manslaughters, simple assaults, and arsons from the “Index” offenses. These are further referred to as “violent” and “nonviolent” crimes as graphically illustrated in Section VII under “Municipal and County Offenses and Demographic Data,” and Section II, “State Summary and Offense Analysis.” 2 All reported offenses are compiled from a record of all criminal complaints received by police from victims or other sources, or discovered by the police during routine operations. Complaints determined to be unfounded are eliminated from this count. Analytical data pertaining to specific crime categories are also reported, i.e. total adult and juvenile arrests made during the month. Police killed or assaulted and arson data are also collected monthly. Police personnel information is submitted on an annual basis. FLOW CHART OF UCR REPORTS 3 VERIFICATION PROCESSES The uniformity and accuracy of data gathered from contributors must be safeguarded through various way. Although guidelines and instructions are provided to each contributor, they are not the panaceas for the accuracy being sought. The reports received by the Uniform Crime Reporting Unit are recorded and examined for mathematical accuracy and reasonableness of the interpretation of the offense classifications. Improper classifications, changes in reporting procedures, or actual change are identified in this manner. Errors of a minor nature are corrected by direct telephone contact with the contributors, while all other errors are resolved through a personal visit by a field representative to the reporting agency. Further verification is accomplished through the analysis of statistical data accrued from the reports submitted. Fluctuations in crime rates noted from previous submissions are verified by the field representatives through their municipal counterpart. FUNCTION Police executives make use of this data in administrative, planning, and operational determinations for their respective jurisdictions. The State Police Uniform Crime Reporting Unit provides assistance to municipal police agencies through the individual analysis of statistics as they relate to specific crime problems within their jurisdiction. Police executives also use this data for identifying manpower and equipment needs. The Uniform Crime Reporting Program requirements not only have increased police efficiency in reporting and record keeping areas, but have helped police in their day to day operations. Although the data collected on the offenses of manslaughter and simple assault are not presented in the annual report, they are required for the federal system. However, this data is processed and available for special research purposes. 4 PROFILE OF NEW JERSEY New Jersey is situated between the major industrial markets of New York and Philadelphia and can be classified as the “Crossroads of the East.” The geographic location of the state has been a major factor in its growth and development. The many miles of superexpressway facilities within the state have been a major factor in its growth and development. The many miles of super-expressway facilities within the state connect New Jersey directly with the neighboring states of New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. Additionally, New Jersey as a corridor state, accommodates large volumes of traffic from both the eastern and western part of the United States. The state is geographically composed of 21 counties which contain 567 incorporated municipalities. Nationally, New Jersey, although 46th in size, ranks ninth in population and first as the most densely populated state in the country. In addition to this density of 1,301.3 persons per square mile, New Jersey still has many miles of rural areas and sparsely settled communities. The areas of density show a heavy concentration around the major urban centers and those areas most accessible for commuting. Area in Square Miles 1990 Census Population 1994 Estimated Population 1994/1990 Percent Change 1990 Density per Square Mile 1994 Density per Square Mile 7,495.73 7,730,188 7,903,994 2.2 1,031.3 1,054.5 STATE, COUNTY AND MUNICIPAL PROFILES The presentation of state, county and municipal profiles in this section is offered for the purpose of projecting, for the consideration of the reader, a group of recognizable factors which may affect the amount and type of crime that occurs from community to community. Selection of the areas of information to be related to individual municipalities was based on the immediacy and completeness of data available. Population statistics presented here, and throughout this publication, were obtained from the Department of Labor, Division of Labor Market and Demographic Research. The 1990 census population count was used in this publication. Character of municipalities by urban, suburban and rural classifications, and square miles, were initially compiled by the Department of Community Affairs, Division of State and Regional Planning, Bureau of Statewide Planning, and will continue to be used for comparative purposes. Following is a list of categories used and a description of each category. •URBAN CENTERDensely populated with extensive development. •URBAN SUBURBANNear an urban center but not as extremely developed and more residential areas. •SUBURBANPredominantly single family residential, within a short distance of an urban area. •RURALScattered small communities and isolated single family dwellings. •RURAL CENTERHigh density core area with surrounding rural municipalities. Certain other socioeconomic factors present in varying degrees in all communities may have an influence on resulting crime rates. Obvious difficulties in the identification, documentation and measurement of these factors, however, precluded their application in this report. Those factors presented were listed to affirm their existence within the county and community and to provide a base for consideration in the evaluation of that community’s crime experience. 5 CRIME FACTORS In order to provide a meaningful statistical profile of crime within the State of New Jersey, each law enforcement agency must provide the Uniform Crime Reporting Unit with data that depicts specific crimes that are occurring within their jurisdiction. There is a need for compatibility with the National Uniform Crime Reporting System and, therefore, categories of offense classifications used within the state are identical with those of the National System. This results in equitable conclusions being drawn from the data submitted. Reported Part 1 offenses and arrests are recorded in the municipality where they occurred, regardless of the outside investigative agency which may investigate, arrest, or otherwise dispose of the case. The factors which influence crime rates are dependent upon characteristics of the community. When attempting to interpret the crime statistics presented herein, one should be aware of the social structure and factors that lead to or cause criminal behavior. Crime rates in this publication are based on the stable population of the municipality. Fluctuating seasonal population figures are too inaccurate to be used as a measurement for determining crime rates. Municipalities with high seasonal populations may indicate a higher crime per one thousand than may be normal for a municipality their size. This would also be indicated in municipalities that experience high population increases due to special events or commuters. Set forth below are some factors which, by type and volume, will affect the crime rate that occurs from place to place: • Density and size of the community population and the metropolitan areas of which it is a part. • Composition of the population with reference particularly to age, sex and race. • Economic status, including job availability, and mores of the population. • Relative stability of population, including commuter, seasonal, and other transient types. • Climate, including seasonal weather conditions. • Cultural conditions, such as educational, recreational, and religious characteristics. • Effective strength of law enforcement agencies. • Administrative and investigative emphases of law enforcement. • Policies of other components of the criminal justice system (i.e., prosecutorial, judicial, correctional, and probational.) • Crime reporting practices of the general citizenry. • Attitudes of the public toward crime reporting. • The administrative and investigative efficiency of the local law enforcement agency, including the degree of adherence to crime reporting standards. • Cooperation of adjoining and overlapping police agencies. 6 THE POLICE POINT OF VIEW The New Jersey State Police Uniform Crime Reporting Unit surveyed various police agencies of the state, attempting to ascertain their opinion concerning factors contributing to the increase or decrease of specific crimes in their municipality. One of the goals of the Uniform Crime Reporting Unit is to assist police in reducing crime by first identifying its extent, type and location. The following viewpoints are offered with the expectation of reaching this goal. ROBBERY Decreases: • • • • More stringent sentencing requirements under the State Criminal Code. Advanced technology in communications has led to increased exchanges of information between police departments. Highly visible foot patrols being deployed in commercial areas and densely populated residential areas. Use of Anti-crime Unit in high robbery areas. Increases: • • Resort areas have shown an increasing seasonal population. Our highly mobile society provides easy access to areas which were previously difficult to reach. BURGLARY Decreases: • • • Better deployment of police personnel, such as highly visible foot patrols in high density crime areas, and increased patrols during probable time and at probable locations of burglaries. More stringent sentencing requirements under the State’s Criminal Code have been a deterrent. Crime Prevention Programs are being stressed in many communities and citizens have been taking a more active part by reporting suspicious persons or circumstances. Increases: • • Extreme increases in population in certain areas have led to new housing in suburban and rural areas. Husband and wife are both working; leaving homes frequently unoccupied for long periods of time. LARCENY Decreases: • • • Public awareness programs contribute to the decrease in thefts from parked vehicles. Improved or additional lighting deters criminal acts from occurring in parking areas. “Safe Streets” Programs and Anti-crime Units have been established in many communities. Increases: • Shoplifting is a theft that police have little or no control over. Store security forces are under the control of the store administration, and their policies vary from strict enforcement, arrest and prosecution, to only a warning. Policy change has 7 • • been directed toward prosecuting the offenders rather than warning them, causing to some extent an increase in the number of shoplifting offenses reported to the police. Certain types of property such as tape decks, radar detectors and radios are popular and present resale opportunities. Youth gang activity on the increase resulting in thefts from motor vehicles. MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT Decreases: • • • Stronger sentencing of career criminals has been effective. Modern ignition systems and anti-theft devices act as a deterrent. Better lighting in parking lots has helped decrease motor vehicle thefts. Increases: • The tremendous replacement cost of auto parts has contributed significantly to the increase in motor vehicle thefts for the purpose of auto parts resale. 8 SECTION II STATE SUMMARY AND OFFENSE ANALYSIS ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Although the individual municipalities within the various groups may be geographically separated, their inclusion into a specific group was predicated by the similarity in population with the other municipalities within the group. Municipalities within the same group may differ widely when all factors are considered, but they do share the common bond of population size. The grouping of communities in this manner allows recognition of variances in the crime volumes, rates and clearances between the established groups.

These cities represent 20 percent of the population and historically account for one third of the reported Crime Index of the state. This analysis involves the latest ten-year period 1986-1995 and endeavors further to identify crime trends in these urban areas. The cities included in this analysis were initially categorized as urban municipalities (i.e., densely populated with extensive development) by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, Division of State and Regional Planning, Bureau of Statewide Planning, and will continue to be used for comparative purposes. The criteria used in the selection of these cities were (1) classified as urban character and (2) have a population of 50,000 or more inhabitants. For further comparative analysis, the urban cities were subdivided into two distinct groupings. Group number one consisted of the state’s six largest urban centers with populations of 80,000 or over and is categorized as “Major Urban.” The second group included the “Major Urban” and the additional urban communities with populations of 50,000 or more inhabitants, and is referred to as the “Urban 15.” MAJOR URBAN • Camden • Elizabeth • Jersey City • Newark • Paterson • Trenton THE “URBAN 15" • Bayonne • Camden • Clifton • Dover Twp. • East Orange • • • • • Elizabeth Irvington Town Jersey City Newark Passaic • • • • • Paterson Trenton Union City Vineland Woodbridge The accompanying table reflects percent changes in the state’s “Major Urban” and “Urban 15" municipalities Crime Index for the years 1986-1995. 104 STATE AND URBAN CRIME INDEX OFFENSES Percent Change 1986 - 1995 NEW JERSEY “MAJOR URBAN” “URBAN 15" Population 1986 1995 Percent Change 7,562,482 7,903,994 5 959,639 896,668 -7 1,565,690 1,510,302 -4 TOTAL CRIME INDEX 1986 1995 Percent Change 398,541 373,706 -6 102,427 96,637 -6 141,920 135,070 -5 Violent Crime 1986 1995 Percent Change 43,456 47,577 9 21,443 22,427 5 26,477 28,920 9 Nonviolent Crime 1986 1995 Percent Change 355,085 326,129 -8 80,984 74,210 -8 115,443 106,150 -8 Murder 1986 1995 Percent Change 397 408 3 218 233 7 266 272 2 Rape 1986 1995 Percent Change 2,531 1,924 -24 1,106 573 -48 1,387 797 -43 Robbery 1986 1995 Percent Change 20,427 22,474 10 12,131 11,721 -3 14,591 15,283 5 Aggravated Assault 1986 1995 Percent Change 20,101 22,771 13 7,988 9,900 24 10,233 12,568 23 Burglary 1986 1995 Percent Change 81,143 69,547 -14 20,424 20,019 -2 29,227 27,611 -6 Larceny-Theft 1986 1995 Percent Change 215,727 206,421 -4 36,190 33,918 -6 53,971 52,276 -3 Motor Vehicle Theft 1986 1995 Percent Change 58,215 50,161 -14 24,370 20,273 -17 32,245 26,263 -19 Percent Change • During the ten-year period 1986-1995, the Crime Index in New Jersey has decreased 6 percent, while the “Urban 15" cities decreased 5 percent and the six major urban cities decreased 6 percent. • Violent crime in the state increased 9 percent, the 15 urban cities increased 9 percent and the six major cities increased 5 percent. • Nonviolent crime in the state decreased 8 percent, the “Urban 15" decreased 8 percent, and the six major cities decreased 8 percent. 105 CRIME IN THE CITIES TEN YEAR SUMMARY COMPARATIVE CRIME INDEX DISTRIBUTION FOR STATE AND URBAN CITIES 50,000 Population and Over 1986-1995 URBAN CITIES Over 80,000 Population (Major Urban) 1,051,607 26.5 225,878 48.1 825,729 23.6 2,105 52.5 8,201 35.4 120,454 56.1 95,118 41.8 208,777 27.4 352,069 16.7 264,883 42.1 NEW JERSEY CRIME INDEX TOTAL Percent Distribution Violent Crime Percent Distribution Nonviolent Crime Percent Distribution Murder Percent Distribution Rape Percent Distribution Robbery Percent Distribution Aggravated Assault Percent Distribution Burglary Percent Distribution Larceny-Theft Percent Distribution Motor Vehicle Theft Percent Distribution 3,974,103 469,885 3,504,218 4,011 23,188 214,890 227,796 760,782 2,114,052 629,384 URBAN CITIES Over 50,000 Population (Urban 15) 1,455,337 36.6 284,174 60.5 1,171,163 33.4 2,518 62.8 10,942 47.2 150,131 69.9 120,583 52.9 290,340 38.2 533,641 25.2 347,182 55.2 Distribution: • Six major urban centers—Camden, Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, Paterson and Elizabeth—collectively represent 11 percent of New Jersey’s total population. These same urban centers, during the period 1986 through 1995, accounted for 26 percent of the state’s total crime. • Major Urban centers from 1986 through 1995 accounted for 48 percent of all violent crime and 24 percent of the nonviolent crimes in the entire state. • The 15 urban municipalities represent 19 percent of the state’s total population. • “Urban 15" municipalities accounted for 37 percent of New Jersey’s total Crime Index. Violent crime was 61 percent of the state total while nonviolent crime was 33 percent of the state total during this ten-year period. • Nearly seven out of every 10 robberies reported occurred in the “Urban 15" cities during this ten-year period. 106 STREET CRIME There has never been a clear-cut definition for street crime within the criminal justice system. The nation’s clearinghouse for the collection and dissemination of criminal statistics, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has no criteria in the categorization of specific crimes to be designated or defined as “street crimes.” More and more this media term has been confused with the violent crime group of murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Although any particular crime can and does occur on the street, this analysis, because of reporting constraints within the Uniform Crime Reporting System, is limited to defining street crimes as those offenses which occur, or are most likely to occur, on streets, highways, parking lots, etc. These crimes include highway robbery, purse-snatching, theft from autos, theft of auto parts and accessories, theft of bicycles, and motor vehicle thefts. All are crimes against property and only one, highway robbery, falls in the violent crime group. • During the ten-year period 1986-1995, the “Urban 15" cities accounted for 44 percent of the street crimes in the state. • Three out of every four highway robberies occurred in the “Urban 15" during the ten-year period. • More than half of all motor vehicle thefts during the survey span occurred in these 15 urban municipalities. • Fifty-three percent of all purse-snatchings were perpetrated in the “Urban 15" cities. The accompanying table reflects percent distribution of street crime for the “Urban 15" cities for the years 1986-1995.

Information regarding police employees strength and trends are discussed in this section. Individual listings of full-time state, county, university and college police departments are shown in tables within this section. Listings of municipal police departments will be found in Section VII. The determination of police strength for any given area or municipality should be subject for serious consideration. Such consideration, however, should be based on the numerous factors which create the need for police services. For example, the increased need for police service in a municipality which has a highly mobile or seasonal population differs from a municipality which has a relatively stable population. Some other factors, discussed elsewhere in this publication, relate to size, density of population, geographic location, character, and proximity to metropolitan areas. The tables and charts shown in this section should not be interpreted as recommended strength for any given municipality. TOTAL POLICE EMPLOYEES Total police employees are defined as the total number of full-time police officers and civilian police employees (clerks, dispatchers, mechanics, etc.) employed by all law enforcement agencies in the state. • During 1995, there were 45,635 full-time police employees in New Jersey. This represents an increase of 1 percent compared to the 45,120 full-time police employees in 1994. • The number of full-time police officers increased 2 percent, from 33,810 in 1994 to 34,513 in 1995. • The number of full-time civilian employees decreased 2 percent, from 11,310 in 1994 to 11,122 in 1995. • Seventy-six percent were sworn officers and the remaining 24 percent were civilian employees. MUNICIPAL POLICE EMPLOYEES This category consists of the number of police employees, including civilian personnel, employed full-time by municipalities of the state. • During 1995, there were 23,099 municipal police employees, an increase of 3 percent compared to the 22,464 in 1994. • For every 1,000 inhabitants of the state there were 2.9 municipal police employees. • Essex County reported the largest increase in municipal police employees, an increase of 5 percent (146 employees). • Atlantic County recorded the highest police employee rate; 4.8 per 1,000 population; (this rate is computed on the static population and does not take into account the large influx of seasonal and recreational population). • Hunterdon County recorded the lowest police employee rate of 1.4 per 1,000 population. 175 MUNICIPAL CIVILIAN POLICE EMPLOYEES The personnel of each department differ as to the demands and responsibilities placed before them. Many police officers are fully occupied with clerical tasks and are not free to perform active police duties. Employing civilians in police departments to perform clerical duties is in line with the thinking of many police administrators who recommended the use of civilians in this capacity. Thus, freeing the sworn personnel for actual police related services. • There were 3,809 municipal civilian police employees in 1995, an increase of 7 percent compared to the 3,547 in 1994. • Sixteen percent of all municipal police employees were civilians. MUNICIPAL POLICE OFFICERS This includes the number of sworn police officers employed full-time by municipalities of the state. The police employee rate per 1,000 population presented here should not be construed as recommended ratios. The determination of police strength for any municipality should be based on the numerous factors that create the need for police services. These factors, as crime, vary in type and degree from place to place. Some examples are: seasonal population, geographic location, density and composition of the population. • There were 19,290 full-time municipal police officers in 1995; this represents an increase of 2 percent when compared to the 18,917 full-time municipal police officers in 1994. • The number of full-time municipal police officers was calculated at 2.4 per 1,000 population; no change was noted when compared to 1994. • Sworn officers represented 84 percent of all municipal police employees. • Hudson County recorded the largest numerical increase (99) which represented a 6 percent increase of municipal police officers. • The largest numerical decrease occurred in Bergen County, a decrease of seven municipal police officers, or less than onehalf of one percent. • Atlantic County, with 3.8 police officers per 1,000 inhabitants, recorded the highest rate of full-time municipal police officers. (This rate is computed on the static population, and does not take into account the large influx of seasonal and recreational population.) • Sussex County recorded the lowest rate of full-time municipal officers with 1.2 police officers per 1,000 population. OTHER POLICE (State Agencies) In addition to the State Police, there are nine other state agencies reporting to the system. These agencies consist of: NJ Forest Fire Service, Division of Parks & Forestry, Department of Corrections, Department of Human Services, Division of Criminal Justice, Division of Fish and Game, Office of Weights and Measures, Palisades Interstate Park, and NJ Transit Police. No rates were computed due to the variations in the types of police services rendered, and their statewide jurisdictions. • Together, these agencies reported a total of 9,868 full-time employees; a decrease of 1 percent compared to the 9,953 police employees in 1994. 176 • There were 6,425 sworn police officers in 1995, an increase of 8 percent compared to the 5,948 in 1994. • These agencies reported 3,443 civilian police employees in 1995, representing a 14 percent decrease compared to the 4,005 reported in 1994. • Sixty-five percent were sworn personnel, while the remaining 35 percent were civilians. COUNTY POLICE, SHERIFFS AND PROSECUTORS The functions of county law enforcement vary widely throughout the state. The operation of one sheriff’s department may be limited exclusively to civil areas and the administration of the county jail, or they may be actively involved in criminal matters throughout the county. County police departments are varied in their activities in that some are responsible for enforcement throughout the county, while others may have as their primary mission the policing of county parklands. The responsibilities of county prosecutors’ officers include criminal investigations, trial preparation, court presentation and special probes. Because of the difference in the types of police service rendered, rates for county law enforcement agencies are not presented here. • County law enforcement agencies reported a total of 8,271 full-time police employees in 1995; a decrease of 1 percent compared to 8,338 in 1994. • There were 5,750 full-time sworn police officers employed by county agencies in 1995. This represents a decrease of 2 percent compared to 5,874 in 1994. • County police agencies reported 2,521 civilian police employees in 1995; an increase of 2 percent compared to 2,464 civilian employees in 1994. • Sworn personnel accounted for 70 percent while the remaining 30 percent were civilians. STATE POLICE The State Police total includes personnel from the Marine Police, Alcoholic Beverage Control Enforcement Bureau, and Capitol Police. The breakdown for each bureau is depicted on the State Police personnel chart. The New Jersey State Police is empowered to provide all phases of law enforcement throughout the state. It also renders, upon request, police services to all the law enforcement agencies in the state. No rates are used due to the variations in the nature and extent of the police services performed by the State Police. • The New Jersey State Police reported 3,636 full-time police employees; an increase of 1 percent compared to 3,611 in 1994. • State Police employed 2,666 officers in 1995 this represented a decrease of less than one-half of one percent when compared to 2,674 in 1994. • The State Police reported 970 civilian employees in 1995; an increase of 4 percent over the 937 reported in 1994. • Sworn personnel accounted for 73 percent and civilians represented 27 percent of the total State Police employees. 177 178 SECTION IX LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS KILLED AND ASSAULTED SUMMARY 179 POLICE OFFICERS KILLED AND ASSAULTED The killing or assault of a police officer has a deleterious effect on society that reaches far beyond the overt act. Such occurrences constitute an immediate threat to the well-being of the community and serious breach of the internal security of the country. Today a young person who considers a career in law enforcement must also consider the very strong possibility of being killed or assaulted by a member or the very same society they are sworn to protect. This deplorable situation should be a subject of serious concern, for in truth, an attack on a police officer is an attack on society. The violence directed against law enforcement officers acting in the line of duty is clearly demonstrated by the following information. POLICE FELONIOUSLY KILLED VOLUME/TREND • In 1995, four New Jersey police officers were feloniously killed while in the performance of their duties. • On March 11, 1995, Andre Motley, of the Essex County Correction’s Department, intervened in a fight between two rival drug gangs feuding over control of the drug dealing turf. The officer was shot and fatally wounded. Eight offenders were arrested. • On April 20, 1995, John D. McLaughlin, of the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office, was executing a search warrant when the offender commenced firing an AKF-47 7.62 caliber semi-automatic rifle. The officer was struck numerous times and died of his wounds. The offender was arrested. • On April 20, 1995, John F. Norcross, of Haddon Heights Police Department, responded to the scene of a police shooting. The officer had cleared the area of bystanders and was behind cover across the street. The officer peered around the residence and received a single gunshot wound to the right eye/temple from an AKF-47 7.62 caliber semi-automatic rifle. The offender was arrested. • On May 7, 1995, Ippolito Gonzalez, of Franklin Township Police Department, conducted a routine motor vehicle stop. As he approached the vehicle, the passenger opened fired upon the officer fatally wounding him. The offender was arrested. Year 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 Police Officers Killed 1 1 - Year 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 Police Officers Killed 1 2 4 ASSAULTS ON POLICE OFFICERS Police assault statistics are important to the police administrator who attempts to identify the causative factors of this type of criminal activity. Many factors contribute to police assaults, and circumstances vary from place to place. Identifying specific reasons for these assaults is therefore extremely difficult. The following information illustrates the frequency of these events, and any attempt at analysis of these assaults should include consideration of the unique variable present in each jurisdiction. Due to the broad field of services performed by many state and county police agencies, no assault rates are computed for total police officers. VOLUME/TREND • There were 3,871 police officers assaulted in 1995, a decrease of 1 percent when compared to the 3,898 in 1994. 180 ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS • Thirty-two percent (1,252) of the officers assaulted sustained injury. • Personal weapons, such as hands, fists and feet were used in 81 percent (3,129) of all police assaults. • Twenty-five percent of police assaults occurred when officers responded to disturbance calls. • Sixteen percent of the assaults on police officers occurred during the 2-hour period of 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. CLEARANCES • The police of New Jersey were successful in clearing 96 percent of the assaults directed at them. ASSAULTS ON MUNICIPAL POLICE OFFICERS VOLUME/TREND • A total of 3,114 municipal police officers assaulted during 1995, a 7 percent decrease compared to the 3,347 assaulted in 1994. • The assault rate, for every 100 municipal officers, was 16.1, a 6 percent decrease compared to 1994. ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS • Twenty-eight percent of the municipal officers assaulted sustained injury. • Personal weapons, such as hands, fists and feet were used in 82 percent of all municipal police assaults. • Thirty percent of municipal police assaults occurred when officers responded to disturbance calls. • Attempting Other Arrests accounted for 23 percent of municipal police assaults. OTHER POLICE OFFICERS ASSAULTED The following law enforcement agencies are dealt with separately and are not included when computing municipal assault rates; the services performed by these agencies vary greatly from the functions of municipal police agencies. VOLUME/TREND • County law enforcement agencies reported 143 officers assaulted with 67 sustaining injury. • The New Jersey State Police reported 60 officers assaulted with 34 sustaining injury. • Other state agencies, with police powers, reported 538 officers assaulted with 277 sustaining injury. • University and college police agencies reported 16 officers assaulted with one sustaining injury. 181 WEAPONS USED IN ASSAULTS ON POLICE OFFICERS ASSAULTS ON POLICE OFFICERS BY HOUR OF DAY NUMBER – PERCENT DISTRIBUTION 182 ASSAULTS ON POLICE OFFICERS BY TYPE OF ACTIVITY NUMBER – PERCENT DISTRIBUTION Municipal Police TYPE OF ACTIVITY Responding to “Disturbance” Calls Number County Agencies State Police Percent Percent Distribution Number Distribution Number Other State Agencies Universities and Colleges Percent Distribution Number Percent Distribution Number Percent Distribution TOTAL Number Percent Distribution 943 30 1 1 3 5 28 5 2 13 977 25 Burglaries in Progress 66 2 1 1 - - 2 * - - 69 2 Robberies in Progress 52 2 2 1 - - - - - - 54 1 725 23 37 26 14 23 4 1 1 6 781 20 71 2 - - - - - - 4 25 75 2 Handling or Transporting Prisoners 211 7 65 45 6 10 475 88 1 6 758 20 Investigating Suspicious Persons or Circumstances 405 13 10 7 2 3 6 1 4 25 427 11 Ambush 11 * - - - - - - - - 11 * Mentally Deranged Persons 33 1 1 1 - - 3 1 2 13 39 1 Traffic Stops 323 10 10 7 27 45 6 1 - - 366 9 All Other 274 9 16 11 8 13 14 3 2 13 314 8 TOTAL 3,114 — 143 * Percent is less than one-half of one percent.

(NOTE: Legislation effective November 12, 1991, added terroristic threats and criminal trespass as domestic violence offenses. Additionally, legislation enacted August 11, 1994, added stalking as a domestic violence offense. This 1994 legislation also expanded domestic violence protection to persons involved in a dating relationship. These legislative changes will effect comparisons of the volume of reported domestic violence acts.) It is through analysis of this data that, hopefully, the keys to preventing future violence can be found. Improvements since the implementation of the Domestic Violence Act are continuing; serious concern has been displayed within many municipal and county agencies whereby various committees and working groups have been formed to help battle this important problem. Revised investigation and reporting procedures by the police; improved processing of domestic complaints by the courts; mandatory in-service training for police and court personnel have all enabled the victim to come forward and implement the constitutional rights granted to all Americans. In 1982, the Domestic Violence Act was instituted to protect battered victims and study the complex problems that spark such aggressive behavior. This legislation also provided the opportunity to identify the causes of violence in the home and put forth a more comprehensive effort to combat the crime of Domestic Violence. The violence within the American domicile has been recognized for decades by elements of government and society with little done to correct the problem. Only recently has this phenomenon begun to receive the attention it deserves. In an effort to understand, identify and treat the incidents of abuse occurring in the home, the State of New Jersey, through its legislature, has provided the means to gain a meaningful insight into this issue.

Bias incidents having a racial, religious, ethnic, sexual or gender component as well as crimes against individuals with a handicap, manifest themselves in a wide spectrum of criminal activities. These bias incidents jeopardize the active and open pursuit of freedom and opportunity. They attack our citizens based on their race, religion, ethnic heritage, sexual orientation, handicap, or gender. Closely linked to such heritage are individual values, beliefs, and identities. Realizing that no agency within the state was collecting complete data on bias incidents, a broad-based Ad Hoc committee was created to develop a comprehensive statewide reporting system. As a result of the committee’s recommendation, Attorney General Executive Directive No. 1987-3 was issued mandating all New Jersey law enforcement agencies to begin reporting bias incident offenses to the Division of State Police, Uniform Crime Reporting Unit, on a monthly basis, effective January 1, 1988. The directive was instituted to capture vital data in an effort to identify the problem. This information permits proper evaluation of progress in preventing bias crime and assist with necessary planning for the future. This is the eighth annual publication concerning bias crimes, which contains comparisons to the previous year’s statistics. (NOTE: On August 15, 1995, legislation was enacted which enhanced the state’s definition of a bias incident to include crimes that are gender or handicap-motivated. Because statistical data was collected for only a small portion of 1995, no data on gender or handicap-motivated bias incident offenses will be presented in this publication). The published statistics and graphs are the result of data submitted by the police community of New Jersey. Hopefully, the information contained in this publication will be of value to various segments of society and serve its intended purpose. 204 205 INTRODUCTION Crimes motivated by hate and bias tend to erode the basic fabric of society.

Crime Rate per 1,000 inhabitants: This represents the number of Index offenses per 1,000 inhabitants. For example: What is the crime rate for a municipality with 513 Index offenses (murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft), with a population of 8,280? 513 (Index offenses) ÷ 8,280 (population) = .061957 x 1,000 = 62.0 (crime per 1,000 inhabitants) 2. Crime Trend: A crime trend shows the extent to which crime increased or decreased. This is done by comparing a period of the current year with the same period of a previous year. For example: A municipality experienced 264 Index offenses in a previous year and 513 Index offenses in the current year. What is the percent of the increase? 513 (current year Index offenses) !264 (previous year Index offenses) = 249 (numerical increase) 249 (numerical increase) ÷ 264 (previous year) = .943 x 100 = +94% (percent change) NOTE: If there were more Index offenses in a previous year than in the current year, we would have a percentage decrease. 3. Number of Police personnel per 1,000 inhabitants: This is calculated in the same manner as a crime rate. For example: A municipality with a population of 8,280 and 28 police personnel. How many officers are there per 1,000 population? 28 (police personnel) ÷ 8,280 (population) = .00338 x 1,000 = 3.4 (police personnel per 1,000 inhabitants) NOTE: This formula can be applied to either total police personnel or just police officers per 1,000 inhabitants. 4. Police Assaulted Rate: This is calculated at a rate per 100 police officers. For example: A municipality with 25 officers had five of them assaulted during the month. What is the police assaulted rate? 5 (police officers assaulted) ÷ 25 (police officers) = .2 x 100 = 20 (police assaulted per 100 officers) 5. Clearance Rate: This refers to the percent of Index offenses cleared (solved), over a specific period of time. For example: A municipality with 513 Index offenses in a chosen time frame, cleared 95 of these offenses. What is the clearance rate? 95 (Index offenses cleared) ÷ 513 (Index offenses) = .185 x 100 = 18 .5 (percent cleared) 218
