Trenton, NJ – The New Jersey Attorney General, Matthew J. Platkin, has issued a statement concerning allegations against Lt. Colonel Sean Kilcomons. Platkin stated that if the allegations are substantiated, such conduct is unacceptable in law enforcement and society.
Platkin announced he had recused himself from the investigation related to these allegations and will reserve judgment until it concludes. He emphasized the importance of never tolerating antisemitism or any form of bias.
According to the New York Post, the State Police’s second-in-command allegedly “referred to AG Matt Platkin as “that Jew” and ordered a department helicopter to stay in the air so the prosecutor’s son couldn’t see inside of it on April 25, according to a report filed with the AG’s Public Integrity and Accountability Unit.”
“I don’t want that Jew’s kid in the State Police helicopter,” Kilcomons, lieutenant colonel of the State Police said during a family event.
The Attorney General voiced concern over how leadership often dismisses bias claims when the accused holds power. He noted that failing to adequately address such allegations sends a discouraging message to victims.
Drawing from personal experience, Platkin shared that he has faced antisemitic slurs, which motivates his commitment to combating bias. He expressed disappointment that a law enforcement leader might have harmed his son and emphasized the need for societal change to prevent acceptance of such conduct.
