    Kenneth Lebrato
    Director, Carteret Police Department
    230 Roosevelt Avenue
    Carteret, New Jersey 07008

    Dear Police Director Lebrato:

    In my capacity as County Prosecutor and ChiefLaw Enforcement Officer for Middlesex


    County, I am granting you, as Police Director ofthe Carteret Police Department (CPD), the
    express permission to conduct and direct others to conduct internal affairs investigations which
    involve possible criminal activity for all police personnel of the Carteret Police Department.
    This express authorization wilI commence as ofthe date of this letter and will end in six months.
    Prior to the expiration ofthat period, I may choose to extend the period of authorization.

    This extraordinary measure is being taken for multiple reasons. First, there have been
    recent serious allegations made against members ofCPD with regard lo certain matters including
    the improper issuance of firearms documents to civilians, as well as serious complaints of
    excessive use of force. Second, while the duties regarding supervising internal affairs would
    normally fall to the highest ranking swom law enforcement officer ofa police department. in the
    case ofCarteret, thal person who is now the Deputy Chief, is ineffective in executing his official
    duties. Third, it's otherwise quite apparent that lhe Carleret Police Depa(ment is in need of
    efl'ective leadership at the highest level. As such, the duties associated with intemal affairs must
    fall to another.

    You are uniquely well qualified to assume these additional duties relating to internal
    alfairs as a Director. You have recently retired in good standing fiom Middlesex County
    Prosecutor's Office after serving many years as a well-respected Assistant Prosecutor. During
    your time as an AP, you served under my leadership as the Section Chiefofthe Cuns, Cangs,
    and Drugs Task Force. You are a seasoned trial attomey, have supervised others including many
    swom police officers, and are well versed in the policies and procedures of intemal affairs
    investigations.
    Thank you for taking on this very important additional responsibility. Ifyou have any
    questions or concems, please let me know. In addition, I will make MCPO supervisory staff
    available to you at any time to provide assistance.

    Sincerely,

    ANDREW C.
    Middlesex County Prosecutor
