The Newark Police Department (NPD) complies with the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) standard 26.2.5, which mandates annual statistical summaries of complaints and internal affairs investigations. These summaries are publicly accessible and provide transparency regarding disciplinary actions within the department. NPD has implemented an Early Warning System to assess and evaluate officer performance proactively, addressing concerns before they escalate to formal disciplinary actions. Additionally, the department maintains a Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) team to support officers involved in traumatic incidents, aiming to minimize the harmful effects of critical incident stress.
