PALISADES PARK A third police consultant, an officer-in-charge and three new officers were appointed as part of the borough s plan to move the department in a new direction.
In February, the borough hired three-part time police consultants after a departmental review released two years ago blasted the department s policies and procedures.
During the past decade, the force has had four chiefs and gone through a tumultuous time marked by suspensions, lawsuits and infighting. Some of the department s troubles date to the 1990s, when officers were found to be running a burglary ring that received national attention.
One of the consultants hired in February turned down the job. R3 Strategies and Solutions was hired on Tuesday to fill the void. Robert Anzilotti, the retired chief of detectives for the Bergen County Prosecutor s Office, is the chief executive officer for R3 Strategies and Solutions.
He named the other two victims who died in the shooting as 30-year-old Kevin Elliott and 25-year-old Asia Hester. Both were from Bridgeton.
Authorities arrived at the house in Fairfield Township, about an hour outside of Philadelphia, late Saturday night. A resident who runs a local anti-violence organization said he was called out to assist families at the 90s-themed party. John Fuqua, of Life Worth Living, said guests who attended the party were of all ages. One person has been arrested in the targeted mass shooting in New Jersey over the weekend at a crowded birthday party. Sydney Long reports.
