"
No one owns the Chief position. It's not for sale," said acting Bloomfield Police Chief James Behre. The 27-year New Jersey police veteran was speaking at a Town Council meeting, discussing the political corruption he was urged to take part in. Less than 48 hours later, he received a letter from Township Administrator Ted Ehrenburg, relieving him of his duties.
In his statement to the Council, Behre explained that he had experienced a lot of harassment in his job, causing significant stress. He said, however, that Councilman Carlos Bernard had made repeated offers for the harassment to stop and the position to be made permanent in exchange for favors to Latino policemen. These favors included pushing Latinos forward in line for Sergeants' Exams, promoting Latinos to detective, and even fixing a parking ticket. He also asked Behre's men to write tickets in his ward.

Elections do not matter here in Jersey. Why won't the rest of the department back Behre up? All the good people are being swept aside and Christie won't do anything about it because he is our biggest (pun intended) problem. I don't know what is going to happen to our country, but it doesn't look good if people don't stand up to a tiny township administrator. It's time to turn the tables on them.
ReplyDeleteYes, this story was mind boggling.
DeletePlenty of blame to go around. The Council is acting like Council's do. Mainly uninformed election victors. But, don't think that this Chief is completely innocent. Just satin...
