A new investigation from the state comptroller's office finds nearly two dozen police officers attended training courses from the company Street Cop, even after the state attorney general banned the private training due to its alleged use of unconstitutional tactics.

A scathing 2023 controller's report found hundreds of law enforcement departments from around New Jersey paid more than $1,000,000 to Street COP for its courses.

It was founded in 2012 by a former Woodbridge police officer and allegedly used racist and misogynistic language, along with encouraging discriminatory and aggressive behavior by cops.

The attorney general's office immediately issued guidance barring the training and required any officers who attended to be retrained.

The new report finds at least some officers appear to have ignored that the issue is now being taken up by the state's Division of Civil Rights.
