🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Saddle River Police Chief Accused of Racist Hiring Practices – “If You’re Not a White Male, You’re Expendable” 🚨

📍 SADDLE RIVER, NJ – Explosive new allegations have surfaced against Saddle River Police Chief Jason Cosgriff, with insiders accusing him of deliberately blocking diversity in the department and systematically pushing out officers who don’t fit his mold.

Despite being a public institution meant to serve all residents, the Saddle River Police Department (SRPD) remains overwhelmingly white and male.

💬 Department Breakdown:
👮‍♂️ Total Officers: 17
⚖️ White Male Officers: 16 (100% English-speaking)
👩‍✈️ Female Officers: 1 (Currently facing disciplinary action, bilingual)
🗂️ Civilian Staff: 1 (White Male, English-only)

🚨 “The numbers speak for themselves,” said a former officer familiar with the department’s hiring patterns.

💬 “If you’re not a white male who fits the mold, you’re either blocked or forced out.”

The only bilingual officers Saddle River has ever employed? Two women:

✅ Sgt. Diana Golonek – Speaks two languages fluently. Now facing retaliation and disciplinary actions.
✅ Officer Maryan Beskaly – Spoke three languages – Fired

💥 One is gone. The other they want out.

🔥 Performative Diversity? Hiring Officers to “Check a Box”
A former SRPD officer revealed to Injustice.cc that the department hired Officer Vietez specifically because she “checks the box”—implying she would boost diversity stats.

🚨 The truth? Officer Vietez is of Italian descent and does not speak Spanish.

“This is how the department operates,” the source continued. “They make it look like they’re hiring diverse candidates, but it’s just a smokescreen.”

❌ A Pattern of Racial Bias & Hiring Discrimination

🔎 Before Chief Cosgriff took over, SRPD made efforts to recruit bilingual officers.
💥 Since he took over? Those efforts have disappeared.

Diversity candidates are blocked, sidelined, or removed.
Hiring practices favor those who fit Chief Cosgriff’s rigid mold.
“Bilingual” hires are chosen based on last names, not actual language ability.

🚨 A former officer put it bluntly:
💬 “If you’re not a white male, you’re expendable.”

🔥 Fired for Speaking Up? The Case of Officer Beskaly

When Officer Maryan Beskaly joined Saddle River Police Department in 2022, she quickly became one of the department’s most engaged officers.

💥 She was FIRED.

🚔 The Official Reason? “Not meeting performance standards.”

👀 The Reality? A calculated move to eliminate another female officer before she secured full employment rights.

💬 “She was collateral damage,” a former officer explained. “The chief saw her as a threat—she was smart, multilingual, and didn’t fall in line.”

🔎 Where’s the Accountability?

Despite growing outrage, Mayor Albert Kurpis and Chief Cosgriff have refused to comment.

💬 “Saddle River deserves a police department that reflects its community—not one run by outdated, discriminatory leadership,” said a local advocate.

🚨 Residents are now demanding an independent investigation into hiring practices, retaliation, and discrimination under Chief Cosgriff’s leadership.
