A Berkeley Township police officer resigned before discipline was imposed after an investigation found he shared sensitive law enforcement information that was later used in a burglary and assault, according to state records.

A former Berkeley Township police officer was identified in New Jersey’s major discipline reporting database after resigning during an internal investigation into allegations that he disclosed confidential law enforcement information to a third party. The disclosure allegedly contributed to a burglary, vehicle damage, and an assault, according to records released by the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office.


Key Points

• Patrolman Kyle Huhn resigned before disciplinary action was imposed
• Sustained charge involved neglect of duty for sharing sensitive law enforcement information
• Records state the information was later used to facilitate a burglary, property damage, and an assault


The case appears in New Jersey’s annual major discipline report, which requires law enforcement agencies to disclose serious disciplinary matters involving police officers.

According to the report, Patrolman Kyle Huhn of the Berkeley Township Police Department resigned before discipline could be formally imposed. The report lists a sustained charge of “3:1.7 Neglect of Duty.”

Information allegedly shared with third party

State records indicate Huhn improperly divulged sensitive law enforcement information to an individual who had no legitimate law enforcement purpose for receiving it.

Investigators found that the officer alerted a suspect to the location of a specific vehicle belonging to a victim. The vehicle was parked at a residence that Huhn observed during his patrol shift, according to the disciplinary summary.

Investigation findings detailed in report

The Attorney General’s report states the suspect later used the information to further a burglary at the residence, damage a vehicle, and assault the residents.

The disciplinary record notes that Huhn resigned while the case was pending and was no longer employed by the department before discipline was imposed.

New Jersey’s major discipline reporting system was established under Attorney General Directive 2021-6 as part of a statewide effort to increase transparency regarding serious police disciplinary actions.
