Leaders in Mullica Township approved remediation work to treat mold and unsanitary water that seeped into the basement of the town's municipal building that housed the police department.
FOX 29 showed the unhealthy and unsafe conditions"What happens when it rains real hard, the septic overflows and comes through the block wall of the basement office, and right into the police department," Ray Theriault of the Mainland Police Benevolent Association 77 previously told FOX 29.Union claims New Jersey police department is unsafe for officers due to mold, sewage problems
The union representing a South Jersey police department is demanding action from township officials after a report discovered a mold and sewage problem impacting their department building. Video shared with FOX 29 claimed to show water running down the walls, which Theriault said smelled of sewage and made it unsafe for the public to enter the building. Some officers, Theriault claimed, fell violently ill from the unhealthy conditions and needed to be hospitalized.
A report by an environmental company hired by the township to look into the situation outlined the serious health risks posed by the condition of the police department. "The extent of the current/existing conditions in the lower-level waiting area and police department do not represent a healthy working environment to those who occupy the police department as they are being exposed to sewage related bacteria, mold growth, and airborne fungal spores," the report read.
