The plaintiffs in the lawsuit include Officers Rasheed Siyam, Christopher Bowen, Michael F. Derin, Detective Michael A. Derin, and Lt. Alex Guzman, each citing various grievances against Farley.

Despite earning over $228,000 annually and leading a department of more than 120 officers, Farley's leadership is now under scrutiny as the officers seek a new chief and a financial settlement.

However, Farley now faces serious allegations from five officers who are preparing to sue him for creating a hostile work environment filled with harassment and inappropriate behavior.

The accusations against Farley include shocking claims of spiking office coffee with Viagra and Adderall, defecating on the floor in front of staff, and sending sex toys to officers' homes.

Officers describe the work environment as reminiscent of an 'Animal House,' with demeaning practical jokes intended to humiliate staff and a culture of retaliation against those who report misconduct.

Concerns about officer morale have been raised, with retired NYPD lieutenant Christopher Mercado warning that if the claims are true, they could lead to increased resignations and disengagement.

Additional claims against Farley involve forcing officers to complete his daughter's homework, placing fireworks under their chairs, and even jabbing a fellow officer with a hypodermic needle.

Robert Farley, who has served with the North Bergen Police Department for 26 years, was appointed police chief in February 2024, promising a commitment to public safety and professionalism.

Their attorney, Patrick Toscano, has requested that the New Jersey Attorney General take control of the police department's operations due to safety concerns among the officers.

North Bergen Township officials have defended Farley, suggesting that the timing of the allegations is suspicious, coming after his reforms aimed at cutting overtime costs, which reportedly saved about $1 million annually.

Evidence shared by Toscano includes photographs of Farley engaging in inappropriate behavior, such as shaving his arm onto an officer's desk and throwing a plaque during an outburst.

While the township has not publicly commented on the specific allegations, a spokesperson expressed confidence in Farley's leadership, calling the claims false and outrageous.
