According to the New Jersey Office of the State Comptroller (OSC), hundreds of NJ law-enforcement officers attended a police training conference where they were taught unconstitutional policing tactics which glorified violence while simultaneously denigrating women, minorities, and people with disabilities.
Instructors used over 100 discriminatory and disparaging terms such as “monkey”, “retard”, “whore”, and “midget”.
The taxpayers of 46 states paid “NJ Criminal Interdiction” D/B/A “Street Cop” to train selected police officers at a 2021 conference held in Atlantic City, NJ.
“Street Cop” teaches a militaristic approach to policing and that civilians asserting their Constitutional rights to privacy should be considered “suspicious.” One instructor mocked the “guy who is fucking recording you” during a traffic stop, saying he should “get pepper sprayed, fucking tased, windows broken out, motherfucker.”
According to the OSC report, none of the officers made complaints about the training to their agencies. The next “Street Cop” training conference is to be held in Orlando, FL in 2024. The company website follows: www.streetcoptraining.com.
