A Camden County police officer received four major disciplinary suspensions totaling 210 days after repeated lateness violations and misuse of leave policies, according to state disciplinary records.
A Camden County law enforcement officer was repeatedly disciplined throughout 2025 for chronic lateness and abuse of sick leave, resulting in a combined 210 days of suspension, according to New Jersey’s annual major discipline reporting records.
Officer Jasmine Mays was the subject of four separate major disciplinary actions that escalated under the department’s progressive discipline policy.
Suspended for misuse of FMLA leave
The first major disciplinary action resulted in a 30-day suspension for abuse of sick leave.
According to disciplinary records, Mays called out on Sept. 10, Oct. 7, and Oct. 8, 2024, using Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) time despite having no pre-approved FMLA leave available.
The disciplinary report also stated that Mays reported late for duty, resulting in her ninth lateness during the 2024 calendar year.
“Officer Mays called out on 9/10/24, 10/7/24 & 10/8/24 using FMLA without any available pre-approved FMLA time available,” the report states.
Repeated lateness triggered escalating penalties
Mays later received a 45-day suspension after incurring her ninth lateness of the 2025 calendar year.
The discipline was classified as “Chronic Lateness” and was imposed under the agency’s progressive discipline policy.
Records indicate the officer subsequently received an even longer suspension after arriving late for duty again.
Tenth lateness resulted in 60-day suspension
A third disciplinary action led to a 60-day suspension after Mays accumulated her tenth lateness of 2025.
The report again cited chronic lateness and noted the penalty was imposed as part of progressive discipline.
“Officer Mays reported late for duty incurring her tenth (10) lateness for the 2025 calendar year,” the disciplinary report states.
Eleventh lateness brought 75-day suspension
The most severe discipline came after Mays recorded her eleventh lateness during the same calendar year.
That violation resulted in a 75-day suspension.
“Officer Mays reported late for duty, incurring her 11th lateness for the 2025 Calendar year,” the report states.
Officer remains employed
The records indicate Mays was not terminated, demoted, or separated from employment.
Instead, the department imposed increasingly severe suspensions under its progressive discipline process.
Combined, the four disciplinary actions resulted in 210 days of suspension.
The disciplinary actions were disclosed as part of New Jersey’s statewide major discipline reporting requirements for law enforcement agencies.
