In re Cohen

In In re Cohen, 56 N.J. Super. 502, 153 A.2d 708 (App.Div.1959), the Court considered and sustained the removal of a police officer who had committed various offenses involving the taking of money from parking meters. The Court said: Every one of the acts referred to . . . is of a nature which would tend to reflect upon and impair the morale of the police department--in the case of the charges of solicitation of municipal employees to misappropriate parking meter collections, egregiously so. Adjudication of guilt of these latter charges alone would have made any punishment of defendant short of dismissal from the force unthinkable. 56 N.J. Super. at 507-08, 153 A.2d 708.
