TRENTON
– Division on Civil Rights Director
Chinh Q. Le announced today that the Division’s
regional office in Paterson will close permanently
effective December 17.
Currently
staffed by a total of five full-time employees
– a manager, two investigators and
two support staff -- the Paterson office
is the smallest of the Division’s
five offices presently in operation. It
received an average of five new civil rights
complaints per month over the past three
years, fewest among the Division’s
regional offices.
According
to Director Le, personnel assigned to the
Paterson office will be reassigned to the
Division’s Newark office. All cases
previously assigned to Paterson will also
be handled by the Newark office. The Newark
office – along with the Division’s
three other regional offices in Trenton,
Camden and Atlantic City – will continue
to operate as usual.
The
Newark office is located at 31 Clinton Street,
3rd Floor, Newark. The other three regional
locations are as follows: Trenton -- 140
East Front Street, 6th Floor, Trenton; Camden
-- 1 Port Center, 4th Floor, 2 Riverside
Drive, Suite 402, Camden; Atlantic City
-- 26 South Pennsylvania Avenue, 3rd Floor,
Atlantic City.
