A screenshot from a video from Street Cop Training shows Dennis Benigno, a former New Jersey police officer and founder of the police training company. Police department leaders in at least two Illinois towns have canceled upcoming training classes for their officers offered by a private firm whose past practices were criticized by a New Jersey state agency for promoting unconstitutional tactics and for glorifying violence.
“We found so many examples of so many instructors promoting views and tactics that were wildly inappropriate, offensive, discriminatory, harassing, and, in some cases, likely illegal,” Kevin Walsh, acting state comptroller, said in a release announcing the report. “The fact that the training undermined nearly a decade of police reforms — and New Jersey dollars paid for it — is outrageous.”
Burr Ridge police Chief John Madden said two of his officers attended Street Cop training classes, one in 2022 and the other in 2023, and told the chief they saw none of the behavior documented in the New Jersey report. One of those officers recommended the department host a Street Cop training class, which had been scheduled for November. Doing so would allow a certain number of Burr Ridge officers to attend for free, depending on how many officers from outside agencies purchased $299 tickets.
“Moving forward, we’ve got nothing to do with this company,” Madden said, “If you have a private company providing law enforcement training, as chiefs we really have to vet the companies.” A Street Cop class on Illinois case law, taught by an attorney and police corporal in Crown Point, Indiana, is scheduled to be held Aug. 26 in Elgin.
