Atlantic City is New Jersey’s leader in police civil rights suits, having been named in 13 suits in federal court since September 2013, far more than any other municipality in the state.
Atlantic City is New Jersey’s 55th largest municipality by population, with 39,558 residents, but in police litigation it’s far ahead of Newark and Jersey City, the state’s largest cities, which tied for second place with five suits each filed in the same period, according to a search of federal court records conducted by the Law Journal. Paterson, N.J., and Trenton, N.J., were tied for third, with each named in four cases in the past year, followed by Englewood, N.J., with three.
