What an unfortunate situation for officer Prise. The original article of March 8th was titled “Hackensack appoints first black police captain,” and most of the article was worded as if the promotion was a fait accompli. At the end of the article it was noted that the promotion was provisional, but the only condition I saw mentioned was that the state board needed to certify the new positions.
The original article never mentioned the need to pass a Civil Service Captain’s exam, and this being the case, why did the department go through all the fanfare to announce officer Prise’s promotion before his exam results were known? Now he faces the public humiliation of a demotion back to his former rank.
