Why I had to resign from Atlantic City Police Department

I give details of the events leading up to my resignation from the Atlantic City police department

[@markt6411]

You've learned the politics of the job, as well as a life lesson in dealing with people. Maintain a low profile and avoid drawing unwanted attention to yourself. Not everyone is your friend, and you must maintain a professional demeanor at all times while working. Don't incriminate yourself by providing extra information during an IA interrogation that isn't necessary. Any information is misconstrued, and you are aware that these people are attempting to advance their careers by making you a poster boy.

Hey Mark first of all your name is Mark 🐀 NOW WAIT WAIT YOU MEAN POLICE LIE hahahahaha DO YOU MEAN THAT POLICE WAKE UP WITH THE IDEA TO TAKE YOUR FREEDOM AWAY hahahahaa DO YOU MEAN THAT POLICEMAN ARE YOUR FRIEND ONLY FOR THEM TO BENEFIT THEMSELVES hahahahahaa DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE NO GOOD POLICE factssssssss

Great video, sad to hear about the situation but hope your doing better! I’m in the academy right now and have been taking your advice!

[@Nrivera9123]

Def am doing better . Appreciate the support and good luck throughout the academy bro. You got it 🙏🏾💪🏾

[@Saints9Boy]

I randomly came across this video and want to express deep sympathy for you bro. Atlantic City honestly the lowest paid and lowest morale department in the state of New Jersey. Today’s climate honestly and sadly revolves around politics! I wish it did work out for you but something better probably has come your way! Unfortunately the way Nj DV law is written even a complaint that results in dismissal will eliminate any chance of anyone becoming a LEO. Happy tho you got to experience life as a LEO first hand. Prayers to you for all of your current and future endeavors! Much love from Bloomfield, NJ

Stay focused, keep yourself busy. This is an opportunity for you to find yourself make the most out of it.

[@NateWolfson]

You admitted to a crime in an IA interview, I feel for you man but you put yourself in this situation. If you would have played it by the book from the jump and just reported all missing/stolen property you wouldn’t have been there to be honest. You really can’t blame them, you should be mad at the people that encouraged you not to follow policy, not the police department as a whole. I live in the city in Chelsea heights and I really do feel for you man, don’t take what I said as disrespect. Just my opinion from the outside looking in

[@NateWolfson]

I also want to add that I could see myself doing the same thing, not trying to ruffle any feathers of your higher ups even if it isn’t right. The people above you were telling you to break the rules and they are the ones to blame. I’m also recently laid off from my plumbing job so I can definitely relate. Hope life is good now man, wish you the best

[@Nrivera9123]

Thank you for the feedback It’s appreciated. I do want to make clear tho the only “crime” I did to be in IA was break a cell phone (still a crime) but there were no charges at the time. 5 months went by from that day that I got called into IA. The cellphone that was brought up (not the original reason I was there) during IA belonged to me, it was never stolen/found… I have taken full accountability for my decisions but I will never be ok with a department (not just AC) allowing officers to work with DUIs, sexual/physical assault charges/allegations and getting rid ones who deserved it more. No disrespect at all thanks for taking the time out to watch. Good luck with everything too I’m sorry u gotta go through it

[@Nrivera9123]

[@Braga_18]

Moral of the story, don’t follow bad examples and always follow instructions. The sole reason all those cops got away with it is because they are PBA members and SLEO II are non-union and basically at will. That’s why all those shore towns get as many they can because they look at them as people who will do anything to try to follow their dreams. Stay strong bro. Those DV’s sadly will follow you everywhere regardless.

This story crazy, I was a class 2 in Avalon, then I move out of Jersey to be a Washington, DC cop. It’s crazy DC actually gave us phones because they were paired to our body camera, we had to take pictures of evidence and upload it with our body camera footage. Anyway needless to say, I resigned from Being a cop after like 3 years, more because of the political and bs surrounding the police force, especially in DC. I know a bunch of guys in ACPD now.

With lost and found can you just give it to a casino? So there lost and found can deal with it.

Nice story. But you played yourself bro, if you didn’t steal work related phone or at least throw it away then it’s wouldn’t have gotten this far. And the domestic issues was just topping on the cake to remove you from the police department. I assume when you said class 2 you was in a probationary period in the department, so that mean you had to be on your best behavior within that time. At least you resigned from that police department, and from cops I knew in my army days it would be easier to apply down south to be a cop. Either way good luck.

[@Nrivera9123]

1) never told on anybody so no snitching there. They already know what goes on so I don’t need to tell it. . 2) they didn’t actually catch me in a lie. It was never a “ oh but I thought you said this soo now you have bad credibility”. I lied on my self. 3) emotionally weak is hilarious to say on social media. 4) far from a “hood” dude and never portray to be from there. 5) def moved on and I’m glad I didn’t stay… anyway you are right we live and learn and thanks for watching
