Paterson Police force needs to be eliminated and replaced with a zero tolerance police force such as Guiliani did in NY in the 80s. Democrats have failed Paterson. Drug dealing happens in the open. I live in Paterson and the disrespect towards the Paterson Police dept is overwhelming and the administration has bought it upon themselves. Paterson Police cannot even deal with a squeegee problem.
