Chief Ralph McGrane was accused in a lawsuit by Officer John Lombardi of orchestrating a campaign of harassment and retaliation starting in 1998. Lombardi alleged that McGrane initiated baseless internal investigations, imposed unwarranted disciplinary actions, and created a hostile work environment, leading to Lombardi’s constructive termination in October 2003. The lawsuit claimed violations of constitutional rights and state laws against discrimination and retaliation. [Source: https://casetext.com/case/lombardi-v-morris-county-sheriffs-department-5%5D
