Officer Steven Dellavalle was suspended without pay in 2024 after a failed operation in East Orange. Dellavalle, along with four other officers, contested the disciplinary actions, arguing that the public safety director lacked the authority to enforce such measures. They also claimed that the discipline could affect their federal deputization and the effectiveness of their task forces. The case is currently awaiting a fact-finding hearing at the state Office of Administrative Law.
