Illegal Access to Police Computers

File this one under “It happened there, it happened here.

In 2004-2005, ex disgraced Westfield Police police Chief Bernard Tracy stated that “he had files on people,” files that dated back to an arrest of a Westfield resident that had attended Westfield Town Council meetings to voice opposition to the construction of parking decks.

It was also alleged that Chief Tracy used Police computers to obtain personal information on members of the local press, residents and members of WECARE, a group organized to fight parking deck construction, and a sitting town councilman at the time.

Westfield Town Administrator Jim Gildea was notified of the breach by Chief Tracy and the Town took steps to terminate the whistleblower.  A civil suit filed protected the whistleblower who eventually retired after Chief Tracy was forced to resign or face investigation into his alleged misconduct with a female police detective named Sandra Chambers, among other allegations.

  1. You’re bringing something up from 2004. A year in which some Westfield police officers were born.

    If the prosecutors office wanted him, they would have gotten him.

    1. Again, it’s the similarities in the case and the fact that one officer was charged and another was not.
      It’s good to have hooks at the UCPO which Tracy had. Tracy walked out the back door before he was charged and got Parizeau to cook the books. No different than when he assaulted a handcuffed suspect at Clark PD. It’s not what you know or what you do, it’s who you know.
      Look at the last corrupt police chief, they had him as well.

    3. Officers born in 2004? Let’s calculate: it’s 2019, and subtract 2004 from 2019 that gives you 15 years.
      Please let me know how many 15 year old police officers Westfield has roaming the streets.
      You aren’t the sharpest tool in the shed pal.

  2. Driver 2 learned the tricks of the trade from Uncle Barney. Learned how to steal from the property room, beat suspects in custody, and womanize.

  4. You can take the cop out of Paterson but you can’t take the Paterson out of the cop. Ain’t that right lying report writer Sgt. Leo Lugo? You learned from the best in your previous town. They are being indicted by the dozen.

  5. A veteran Trenton police officer accused of stealing property from the police department’s evidence room forfeited his job last month as part of his entry into the pre-trial intervention (PTI) program, police sources and officials say.

    Hector Gonzalez, who joined the Trenton Police Department in 2001, was accepted into PTI on March 19 after pleading not guilty to an accusation of theft by unlawful taking, the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office confirmed.

  6. Who does the ex disgraced think he is? He's trying to be like J. Edgar Hoover. J Edgar Hoover was also a cross dresser and liked make-up. Lol. A real weirdo.
