Synopsis as reported by the agency

On November 20, 2023, Police Officer Kiril Petrov, while on duty, utilized an application on his personal cellular telephone to electronically monitor the whereabouts and location of “a party protected under the prevention of Domestic Violence Act," via a GPS tracking device he placed on her personal vehicle, without her consent and/or knowledge. This is the second occasion that Police Officer Kiril Petrov placed a GPS tracking device on this party's vehicle to monitor her whereabouts and location. Self admittedly Police Officer Petrov observed her location remotely, at least five times, while he was on duty on November 20, 2023, presumably distracting him from performing his legitimate police duties. After completing his shift, Police Officer Petrov utilized the GPS location to locate the party. Now November 21, 2023, Police Officer Petrov, while off-duty, conducted covert surveillance and physically observed this party in North Bergen, NJ for approximately 1.5 hours. Police Officer Petrov then surveilled a male associate of the party and followed him at high rates of speed until he and Police Officer Petrov confronted one another in Bergen County, NJ.
