I don't believe he was ever the Chief of Police, and I expect the current Captains are his contemporaries.
And he didn't resign. He was forced out and the process took a few years in the courts, costing Hoboken a fair amount in legal fees. Another strong move for which Zimmer was criticized.

That chief already resigned years ago, no?

Remember that SWAT team?
Hahahah.
I can imagine her wanting to pass over that bunch and their buddies.

Hudson County politics, especially a political move with a motive by a mayor who's been in the news accusing others of political moves and motives-that's interesting for me.

Maybe, but really - who in Jersey City besides a cop cares? I think you meant to put it here: http://hoboken411.com

Every executive, of course, appoints their supporters. Changing the rules, for the first time in Hoboken history, to enable that perhaps less qualified but more politically aligned candidates seems to be the issue, no?

Corrupt police leadership upset that mayor doesn't bow and scrape, news at 11.

SHOCKING REVELATIONS!!! POLITICIANS APPOINT SUPPORTERS!!

Dawn has been in combat with Hoboken's uniformed services trying to reign in their traditional excesses from day one, this is just another skirmish.

Shouldn't you be walking a beat somewhere? Or standing at an intersection picking your nose while people run red lights?

For the first time, the Zimmer administration changed the eligibility for police chief to include lieutenants along with captains. The Hudson Reporter believes this to be because she wants a loyalist working in that spot, and she had to changes the rules to do so. Obviously, a chief executive can appoint her staff, but to change the rules to be able to do so-how Hudson County of her!

Zimmer?s choice?

If anyone thinks the next police chief of Hoboken won?t be a person very close to Mayor Dawn Zimmer, then I have a bridge to sell them.

The Zimmer administration has changed the rules, allowing lieutenants to qualify for police chief for the first time in Hoboken history. This may be because a captain who is best qualified to become chief is not considered a Zimmer zealot, and a close study of Zimmer appointments show that most, if not all, are close Zimmer allies.

This, of course, makes selection of a new police chief in Hoboken deeply political ? not a novel concept, but one that explains why some people who worked with Zimmer in the past feel betrayed, and why some in the Democratic Party are pushed to eject Zimmer committeepeople from key or leadership positions.
