Street Cop Training, a private police training company, encouraged the use of
unconstitutional tactics, a report by New Jersey’s comptroller says.

At a police training seminar in Atlantic City, N.J., one instructor flashed a
photo of a monkey while telling participants about his interaction with a
75-year-old Black man, video shows. Another appeared to mock the L.G.B.T.Q.
community: “He or she, him, her, she, him” — whatever “you want to call people
now.” Several instructors referred to the size of their genitals in lectures
that glorified violence.

And Dennis Benigno, the founder of Street Cop Training, which led the seminar
and describes itself as the fastest-growing private police training company in
the United States, told the attendees that he looked forward to vacations in
Colombia surrounded by cocaine, “hookers” and poor girls who “need to do things
to make money.”

Nearly 1,000 police officers from across the country listened to Mr. Benigno and
the other instructors during the six-day, $499 seminar in October 2021,
according to an investigation and video footage released Wednesday by Kevin D.
Walsh, New Jersey’s acting comptroller.
