Borough of Tenafly

"Please explain to me how there are NO female officers within this department? Please explain how the majority of officers in this department are Caucasian? Come on chief you have to do better! Hopefully there will be more minorities hired this upcoming hiring period because I’m really sick and tired of seeing the old faces within this department."

"Chief Chamberlain isn't it time you hired officers that look like the population in Tenafly? Just 2 out of 34 police officers are African American and Hispanic. This is not consistent with the population in Tenafly which is roughly 55% Caucasian 25% Asian and 20% Hispanic and African American."

"I have to say Congratulations to the two Police Officer's in their recent handling of an out-of-control, egotistical and obnoxious Caren Turner. Thru it all, you stayed calm and professional as you performed your job. In comparison, Ms. Turner attempted to name drop, pull rank and flash a badge of sorts as she continued to demand special treatment. You stood your ground without resorting to her level. Great job!"

"Tenafly PD could not have been any more professional when being confronted and harangued by a self entitled bureaucrat back on Easter weekend, 2018. The officers featured in the viral video maintained a cool and total command throughout the situation, from start to finish. Bravo to the Tenafly Police Department."

"About two months ago, I had a minor argument with my landlord and out of spite, my landlord broke into my house(literally breaking down the basement door), and so I filed a police report on it. The officer told me to give them a call if the landlord shows up again without notice and do something suspicious. Today in the morning, I woke up by loud thud sound in the backyard so I looked outside and my landlord was in the backyard without any notice. So I immediately called Tenafly police and the two officers showed up. They first spoke to my landlord and later came into the house to speak to me; the officers were completely rude and unprofessional. There were so many errors of what they said. One, the officers said that this is his property, therefore he can come anytime he wants to... No. That is false. The lease agreement literally states, "If the landlord must visit the premise due to any maintenance, request, etc., the landlord must notify in writing to tenant at least one week in advance. In case of emergency, the landlord must get an approval from the tenant to visit the premise." If I did not approve or he didn't notify me AT ALL, he is trespassing. Second, as the officers were leaving, one of them said, "if you keep calling us regarding this, you will be arrested for falsely calling the police." Excuse me? First of all, I was TOLD by the POLICE OFFICER to give them a call if my landlord comes and do something suspicious. The fact that my landlord was in my backyard looking inside the home is suspicious enough. And also, what if he really came to hurt me or do something maliciously? If I never called the cops, I wonder what would have happened? I thought the police is there to keep their community safe and protected? But these cops are full of themselves and think they're higher than their community? What a joke. I have decided to move out of this town as soon as my lease is over. Thanks for nothing, Tenafly cops."
