“Trenton Police Department Under Personnel Investigation, City Officials Release Statement”

In a statement released earlier today, the City of Trenton responded to recent articles published in The Trentonian regarding an ongoing personnel investigation at the Trenton Police Department. The statement aimed to address the incorrect information that had been circulating and to provide clarity on the matter.

According to the statement, the investigation, which relates to five officers at the Trenton Police Department, had initially been referred to both the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office and the Attorney General’s Office. However, the case was later returned to the department for administrational handling. The ongoing investigation is focused on whether several officers misrepresented their sick and vacation time, and any speculation from local media outlets should be disregarded until the investigation has been completed.

The statement also clarified that the computers at the Trenton Police Department were not hacked, and all officers had administrative access to the relevant systems. Lastly, the statement emphasized that only Pensions makes the decision to award a pension to a retiree. Before making such a decision, Pensions conducts a background check and seeks clearance from the appointing authority.

The City of Trenton acknowledged that there were no easy choices in this situation, but emphasized that they do not take the matter lightly and that no one will be getting away without repercussions. The statement provided the public with an update on the ongoing investigation and aimed to clear any misconceptions that may have been circulating.

Accompanying the statement was a figure displaying an image of the Trenton Police Department. While the investigation is still ongoing, the public can expect further updates from the City of Trenton as the case progresses.
