History
In July 2010, Officer Bruce Calkin required hospitalization after being injured in a fight in the department's parking lot with a fellow officer.
In December 2013, a number of police officers sued the department. They claimed they had been suspended because they were in the military reserves. The department in turn claimed the officers were falsely excusing their absences from work as being required by military service.
On 10 February 2014, Acting Police Chief James Behre publicly claimed a city councilman asked him to advance the careers of two particular policemen in exchange for support in becoming the permanent police chief. Two days later Behre was put on paid administrative leave pending a "fitness for duty" review.
In 2012, Marcus Jeter was arrested for eluding police and resisting arrest and assault. In 2014, Marcus Jeter was cleared of all charges because of police dashcam video which had not been given to the prosecution. Bloomfield cops Orlando Trinidad and Sean Courter have been charged with official misconduct, tampering with public records, and false documents and false swearing, while a third officer (Albert Sutterlin) was allowed to retire after pleading guilty to tampering with evidence. Sean and Orlanda have been suspended without pay. In 2012 when the incident actually happened, the internal-affairs department had exonerated both officers. Orlando maintains he was in the right, even though the footage shows otherwise. The mayor vowed to purge the police department of bad police officers after this incident On January 13, 2015, Superior Court Judge Michael Ravin denied a motion to dismiss the charges against the officers. Under a plea deal offered by the prosecution, Orlando and Sean would have to spend 5 years in state prison. In June 2015, the trial was postponed to resume October 5
