Police Department

To our residents, business owners, houses of worship, and community as a whole, the Hackensack Police Department shares your pain and emotion as a result of the inexcusable death of George Floyd at the hands of those sworn to protect him in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

We in no way condone the heinous actions and inaction depicted in the video and we look forward to seeing justice served via due process, as is the right of all people, and something Mr. Floyd was deprived of. We watched with the rest of the world, and we stand with the people, regardless of race, sex, culture, and religion, in stating that those actions have no place in a civilized society. Those former officers failed all of us!
