A Message from Police Chief Michael Mazzeo:
The images of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis are deeply disturbing. We as a Department stand with our community,
other law enforcement officials, public officials and peaceful protestors across the country to make clear that abusive
police practices will not be tolerated anywhere. Law Enforcement in New Jersey is committed to a criminal justice system
that is fair, transparent, and free of bias. We condemn such actions when an officer uses violent force against civilians
without justification. They do a disservice to the vast majority of law enforcement officers committed to upholding the
highest standards of the profession. All of our officers are committed to the administration of law and order based on the
constitutional ideas of justice for all, where every citizen will be treated with dignity, fairness and respect. Our thoughts
and prayers remain with the family of George Floyd and the citizens of Minnesota during this difficult time.
