Paterson police sue New Jersey AG over state takeover of department
Fox News
Top police officials in Paterson, New Jersey, are suing state Attorney General Matt Platkin for imposing a state takeover of the department.
While New Jersey’s constitution gives the state attorney general direct supervision of county prosecutors and police chiefs, Paterson's police chief and acting police director argue in a complaint filed in Passaic County Superior Court that the state takeover "exceeds the bounds of their statutory and constitutional authority," NJ.com reported.
