Synopsis as reported by the agency
On October 5, 2022 the Special Investigation Division conducted an investigation. It was demonstrated that Officer Iadarola failed to cooperate and maintain professionalism with the Public Defender at the Camden County Courthouse. Specifically, he told the Public Defender that he was not allowed to discuss a future court date with the inmate that he was at court with because of security purposes. The Public Defender explained to the Officer that he was the inmate's assigned attorney and referenced the Sixth Amendment, speedy trial rights, about potentially returning to court. The Officer would not allow the Public Defender to speak to his client and fill out the Pre-Trial Memorandum, stating "you already had enough time to talk, we're bringing him back." Officer Iadarola then made an unauthorized stop at Penn Medical Center in Cherry Hill, NJ while transporting an Incarcerated Person. Officer Iadarola also failed to communicate via radio with Central Communications and further failed to submit an accurate trip log for that day.
