A New Jersey police chief was fired Tuesday — after allegedly falling asleep in meetings as local crime soared.
Paterson Mayor Andre Sayegh claimed that the snoozing of top city cop Ibrahim “Mike’’ Baycora at cabinet meetings was just one in a long list of gripes he had with the chief,“Paterson deserves a police chief that not only stays awake on the job but is engaged,” Sayegh said at a press conference — adding that Baycora’s time on the job had been “beyond disappointing’’ and “deplorable.
In addition to dozing during meetings, the former police chief took a monthlong vacation last summer — amid the skyrocketing crime — and would even show up to powwows with officials outside of Paterson wearing civilian clothes instead of his uniform, the mayor said, according to NJ.com.
