I called yesterday trying to find out of a police report is ready. The party who answered in records said it wasn't ready yet. Today I called and the party said we need to come to the station to verify that. Please be aware people have to take time off to get these reports. A simple yes or no would suffice. I work in an office environment for Bergen County and know proper protocol in these instances. Get your act together guys!

To spike a drink means to put alcohol or drugs into someone's drink without their knowledge or permission. ... Drink spiking is illegal, whatever the intent. This means that slipping alcohol or drugs into a friend's drink as a joke is against the law. People who spike drinks can be charged, fined or jailed.

Was waiting in front of my house in my brothers car, wide 1 way street, not blocking traffic, to pick him up, officer pulls behind me, gives me a ticket for double parking, I was in the car, so it's actually standing, lawfully to pick up someone. I go to court, proof that I was in the car, she writes my license on the ticket, if I was parked how did she get my license number if it was my brothers car? Judge Mcduffy, or Mcdoufus, was not having it, appeal cost was more than ticket so I ate it.

Paterson is one of the toughest places in the country to police. The resources are limited. The city is very overpopulated and the crime rate is one of the worst in the country. These officers are dealing with constant robberies and break ins on a daily basis. The frustration of these reviews is understandable because of the time it takes for non emergencies to be investigated but I don't think its the department's fault. Ive been assaulted and my friends store was burglarized and the officers responded instantly on both occasions and apprehended the suspects. Thank you Paterson police for risking your lives every day.
