The U.S. Justice Department has opened an investigation into possible civil rights violations by the police department in New Jersey's capital city.
The U.S. Justice Department opened an investigation Tuesday into possible civil rights violations by the police department in New Jersey's capital city.
"The public must have trust and confidence that police officers will treat them fairly and with respect," Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke, of the Civil Rights Division, said in a written statement. "The Justice Department will conduct a full and fair investigation into these allegations, and if we substantiate those violations, the department will take appropriate action to remedy them.
In a separate statement, Gusciora on Tuesday praised "the overwhelming majority of officers at the city, county, and state level who do the right things every day to keep Trentonians safe." But he added, "If any members of law enforcement violate the public trust or act in contravention of our state and federal laws, they should and must be held accountable."
The union said police responded to 41 shooting incidents over the past 30 days "and have consistently demonstrated commitment, always doing more with less."
