North Bergen Police Chief Accused of Harassment and Workplace Misconduct

Robert Farley faces allegations from five officers, including claims of defecating on floors, spiking coffee with drugs, and retaliating against whistleblowers, with investigations now underway.

Five officers from the North Bergen Police Department have accused Chief Robert Farley of creating a hostile workplace through harassment, vulgar pranks, and retaliation.
Allegations include defecating on floors, spiking coffee with Adderall and Viagra, and exposing himself to coworkers while making inappropriate comments.
Farley is also accused of targeting officers' families by sending inappropriate items, such as sex toys and gay pride flags, to their homes.
The Township of North Bergen has referred the case to the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office and the New Jersey State Attorney General’s Office for investigation, while denying the allegations and supporting Farley.
No formal charges have been filed, and Farley remains in his position as police chief as the investigation continues.
