Saddle River, NJ – Mayor Albert Kurpis has built his career on lies, manipulation, and fear-mongering—and the coyote scandal of 2017 was just the beginning. The same playbook of deception used to justify an unnecessary mass coyote slaughter is now being deployed against women in law enforcement, specifically Sgt. Diana Golonek, the only female officer in the Saddle River Police Department.
🔹 In 2017, Kurpis lied about coyotes to push his own agenda.
🔹 In 2025, he’s enabling a corrupt police force that targets women officers with retaliation and discrimination.
The pattern is impossible to ignore—Kurpis is willing to manipulate facts, suppress dissent, and fabricate crises whenever it serves his interests.
🚨 If he lied about coyotes, what else is he lying about? The answer: everything.
🔹 The Coyote Playbook: Create a Fake Crisis to Justify Corrupt Actions
Let’s look at Kurpis’ exact strategy during the coyote scandal:
📌 Step 1: Fabricate Fear
- In September 2017, Kurpis falsely claimed that coyotes were forming packs, attacking prey together, and threatening children.
- The truth? Documents show that the NJ DEP had already told him that these were just young pups, NOT a threat.
📌 Step 2: Silence the Facts
- Emails prove that Kurpis ignored science and the NJ DEP’s official wildlife report.
- Instead of telling the truth, he used fear to manipulate public opinion.
📌 Step 3: Use Fear to Justify Unethical Actions
- He pushed a mass killing resolution, ordering police to shoot and kill coyotes on sight.
- He asked residents to report coyote dens, leading to a pointless extermination effort.
🔹 The SAME Playbook is Being Used Against Women Officers
Fast forward to 2025, and Kurpis is now enabling a corrupt, discriminatory police department—one that targets female officers the same way he targeted coyotes: with lies and retaliation.
🚨 The Proof: The Persecution of Sgt. Diana Golonek
Sgt. Diana Golonek, a 12-year veteran and the ONLY female officer in Saddle River PD, has been the victim of orchestrated retaliation and blatant gender discrimination.
📌 Step 1: Fabricate Fear (Sound familiar?)
- Kurpis and his allies, including Chief Jason Cosgriff, painted Golonek as a “problem officer.”
- They exaggerated a minor report-editing issue, claiming she made unauthorized changes—despite evidence that her changes were factual and correct.
- They labeled her “aggressive” for defending herself in a squad room argument—yet male officers involved received no punishment.
📌 Step 2: Silence the Facts
- Golonek filed a harassment complaint against the department in July 2023.
- Instead of investigating, they waited five months—then filed disciplinary charges against HER.
- They promoted less experienced male officers over her, despite the fact that she was the most senior officer after the chief.
📌 Step 3: Use Fear to Justify Unethical Actions
- Just like the coyote slaughter, this entire case is based on retaliation and control.
- By attacking Golonek’s credibility, they send a warning to other officers:
“If you speak out, you’ll be next.”
🚨 This isn’t just about one officer—it’s about a corrupt leadership structure that punishes anyone who challenges it.
🔹 The Bigger Pattern: Lies, Retaliation, and Abuse of Power
Mayor Kurpis operates by the same formula—whether it’s wildlife, political rivals, or female officers, the method doesn’t change.
🔥 2017: He lies about coyotes, ignores science, and orders an unnecessary slaughter.
🔥 2019: His own Borough Council strips him of key powers due to his poor leadership.
🔥 2024: He swears in his own son as a Borough Council member, further fueling nepotism claims.
🔥 2025: He backs a corrupt police department that punishes women officers with false charges and rigged promotions.
📌 The takeaway? Kurpis is an enabler of corruption.
📌 His leadership is built on deception, intimidation, and protecting bad actors.
🚨 It’s time for Saddle River to demand REAL leadership.
📢 The Call to Action: Saddle River Residents Must Act Now
🔥 Demand an independent investigation into the false disciplinary charges against Sgt. Diana Golonek.
🔥 Expose the corruption within the Saddle River Police Department—retaliation and gender discrimination cannot be tolerated.
🔥 Hold Mayor Kurpis accountable for his years of lies, abuses of power, and political cover-ups.
📢 Saddle River deserves better than a mayor who governs through fear and retaliation.
🚨 If he lied about coyotes, what else is he lying about? The persecution of female officers is just the latest example. 🚨
