Two officers with the Westfield Police Department have sued the town, claiming they were retaliated against after they reported a fellow police officer for ticketing a Black driver while letting a white one go without a summons.
Sgt. Preston Freeman, 49, and Lt. Nicole Stivale, 42, had accused Officer Christopher Forcenito of “racially influenced profiling” after two motor vehicle stops that occurred during the overnight shift on Jan. 29, 2021, according to a lawsuit filed last month in Superior Court of Union County.
