NJ Spotlight News | Clip | Public trust in police must be restored, says Paterson mayor
The Paterson Police Department is going through an overhaul after Mayor Andre Sayegh publicly fired the police chief and as violent crime rates -- including homicides -- spiked. The police department also recently went through its worst scandal in decades when five convicted ex-Paterson cops were sentenced to prison for their roles in robbing and assaulting people they illegally stopped.
