Capt. Francesco Aquila claims in court papers police Director Raymond Guidetti violated New Jersey law.

Guidetti was hired by the city to serve as its civilian director on Aug. 15, 2002. He’s earning $195,000 a year, according to the lawsuit, filed June 6 in Superior Court of Bergen County. Aquila says that when he complained to the department’s officer-in-charge, his concerns were not taken seriously and not reported to internal affairs or the county prosecutor.
Instead of opening an internal affairs investigation and referring the matter to prosecutors, the city and department continued to bestow upon Guidetti “the powers of a police chief and senior law enforcement executive/manager,” the suit says. “Police Director Guidetti took one Chevrolet Tahoe for his own use in violation of the law,” the suit says.
The suit also claims the city and police department ignored a 2019 attorney general directive stating “county prosecutors are directly responsible for internal affairs investigations of municipal law enforcement executives … regardless of the type of alleged conduct.”On Jan. 6, Aquila received a notice from the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office that he was the subject of an internal affairs complaint for allegedly neglecting his duties as a supervisor, the suit says.
