HACKENSACK
— Hackensack Police Chief Ken Zisa is set to go on trial today.
Zisa
was suspended without pay in 2010 after he was charged with official misconduct
and insurance fraud.
The
chief is accused of removing his girlfriend from the scene of an accident in
2008 in which she was suspected of being intoxicated. Authorities allege Zisa
then filed false information in an insurance claim.
Zisa
also is accused of covering up an investigation stemming from a 2004 assault
and robbery in which his girlfriend's sons were suspects.
The
chief's attorney tells The Record of Woodland Park the case is based on
testimony from police officers who stand to gain financially from his
conviction.
Had enough? Write to the Speaker of the House, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC 20515 and demand federal
hearings into the police problem in America.
Demand mandatory body cameras for cops, one strike rule on abuse, and a
permanent DOJ office on Police
Misconduct.
