Officer Demographics

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Newark City should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

I would like to request the following information about all sworn personnel active in the Newark Police Department between the years 2005 and 2020:

i) Sex (M,F)

ii) Race/Ethnicity (White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Other---if the department uses different categorizations then this is alright)

iii) Date joined department

iv) Year of birth

v) Each date employee began new position with following information about new position

a) Previous position (i.e. officer, detective, sergeant, captain, etc)

b) New position (i.e. officer, detective, sergeant, captain, etc)

c) Location of old position (as granular as possible, so ideally for officers I would like to know which beat (or equivalent) they were assigned, if this is not possible then division, etc)

d) Location of new position (as granular as possible, so ideally for officers I would like to know which beat (or equivalent) they were assigned, if this is not possible then division, etc)

vi) Deidentified employee id (I don't need officer names, but do need a unique id so I can see the same employee across multiple position changes)

vii) Zip code of home address (if available)

Thank you for your help! If possible, I would like these records to be transmitted electronically. Please let me know if there will be any fees before beginning.
