The New Jersey attorney general announced that his office is superseding the Paterson Police Department, and assuming control of all police functions, including internal affairs investigations, effective immediately.
Isa Abbassi, a twenty-five-year veteran of the New York City Police Department and its current Chief of Strategic Initiatives, will become the Officer-in-Charge of the Paterson Police Department in May, having been appointed to that position by Attorney General Matthew Platkin.
The Department will be overseen by Major Fred Fife of the NJSP, as the Interim Officer-in-Charge. Major Fife will be joined by Captain Jafca Mandziuk also of the NJSP, and Assistant Attorney General Joseph Walsh, as well as other members of the Department of Law and Public Safety. In addition to assuming control of the City's police department, Attorney General Platkin is announcing the following initiatives to improve public safety in Paterson, and throughout the state:
- Revising the statewide Use of Force Policy to include protocols for barricaded individuals. Situations involving people who are barricaded within a room or other confined space pose significant challenges and risks for all involved - civilians and officers alike - and such situations may arise for any number of reasons.
