Twenty-six law enforcement officers with the Bergen County Bureau of Police Services were laid off on Jan. 26, while 11 more were demoted. Of the total, 19 are veterans.

Leaders of Bergen County Police Officers PBA Local 49 said Sheriff Michael Saudino targeted them for "political retribution” and was “engaging in union busting” after county officials agreed to reduce staff only through attrition

Saudino said the move was made because of new state mandates requiring him to provide 35 additional sheriff’s officers, not county police officers, in all civil courtrooms to go with those who'd already been in the criminal courts.
