Good Morning,

The Township of North Bergen (“Township”) writes in response to your 02/18/2026 request seeking records pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1, et seq. (“OPRA”).

Records requested:

I am requesting all recent complaints against that
CRIMINAL, Deputy Chief David Corbisiero, for weaponizing Internal Affairs against his officers and enemies as well as fabricating charges (that he just got caught red handed doing).
The entire Department knows whistleblowers such as myself are coming forward with the abuse that this criminal has imposed on his officers. The Township needs to list these complaints for the public to see.

DC Carbs backstabbed Chief Farley along with that other dweeb, Dave as well. The two Daves wanted to throw Farley out and take over the Chief and Deputy Chief spots, didn't they? Hey Rob, did you finally figure out who was doing you in with the OPRAS or are you in denial still?
Power makes people do some evil things doesn't it?

I am requesting the training order and table of organization showing where Deputy Chief Corbisiero's son is listed as the K-9 dog handler.
I'm further requesting the Dept. policy on nepotism as well as Deputy Chief Corbisiero's contract.
You know, the contract where he went behind Chief Farley's back and snaked himself a contract only a few thousand dollars less than the Chief of Police...
Is Junior going back to patrol? Give the people what they want.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
