CJ Griffin, Director of the Justice Gary S. Stein Public Interest Center, was quoted in the hudsoncountyview.com article, “Internal Affairs Units in Hudson disciplined 36 cops, including 3 terminations, in 2020.” The article discusses the review of the annual summary reports of the Internal Affairs Units of Hudson County law enforcement agencies, which indicates 36 police officers were disciplined, including 3 terminations, in 2020.
” … Very few officers receive major discipline, which is why the Attorney General’s directive last year does not really disclose much,” began CJ Griffin, an attorney who has been pushing for the state legislature to pass Bill S-2656, which would make internal affairs records public.
“Most IA info will remain completely confidential and even with these, we do not get to see the actual files. Just their summary, which can be skewed or downplayed.”
