An internal investigation found that former Police Chief Leonard Guida committed dozens of policy violations
An internal affairs investigation in New Jersey found 28 policy violations committed by the police chief himself. In one case, he showed up to a DWI investigation while impaired himself and got into a physical altercation. Now, he's retiring as a result of the findings. Seven of the violations related directly to an incident where Leonard Guida, the now-former police chief, arrived at a DWI scene while intoxicated himself.
The officer who slammed him on the hood reported that Guida had been coming to work intoxicated in the previous six months. That might explain some of the other behaviors that resulted in additional policy violations. The report specifically called out his tendency to yell at his subordinates over minor inconsequential things when they are trying to do their jobs. During the investigation, Guida called these same subordinates not credible, not nice, and not capable.
