Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco confirmed the move Saturday morning.
At least eight new police officers on the verge of completing their 22-week basic training at the Bergen County Law & Public Safety Institute on Campgaw Road in Mahwah received positive results from mandatory testing, authorities said.
