New Jersey Attorney General releases list of changes to Paterson Police Department since takeover
PATERSON, N.J. -- New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin released a list of changes to the Paterson Police Department since his office took over in March.
Platkin said this week police officers received training in effective patrol techniques, with a focus on constitutional policing with compassion.
Soon, training will begin to equip more officers with stun guns.
Platkin's office took over after what he called a series of policing failures, including the fatal shooting of Najee Seabrooks, a community activist.
