NEW JERSEY - No longer will Passaic County law enforcement have to take separate cars to respond to a scene where mass arrests are expected. Now the sheriff’s department has a 16-foot dual axle trailer to transport up to 20 officers to parades, demonstrations, shopping frenzies or college parties that might get too rowdy. The $130,000 trailer came from the state’s Department of Corrections through a federal Homeland Security grant, putting Passaic County on New Jersey’s Mass Arrest Response Team. That means the trailer will be deployed anywhere in the state where police need its size, flood lights and amplified speaker system to squash a large-scale public disturbance. “Our focus of course will be towns in Passaic County,” Sheriff’s spokesman Bill Maer said. The department also used $65,000 in drug forfeiture money to pin new badges on all of its officers and brass. The badges, equipped with an internal tracking number and a special dye that only the Sheriff’s Office keeps, are meant to push back against imposters, according to Sheriff Richard Berdnik.
