Description: 7/15/22 SID received allegations of unprofessional conduct from North Brunswick police department about SCPO Tahje Abarca. Officer Abarca made fictitious 911 phone calls to report that the police of North Brunswick were going to “shoot her” she also repeatedly identified herself as a law enforcement officer, then when the North Brunswick PD requested for her to identify herself and her department she went on numerous tirades. The whole incident was brought on because her vehicle had broken down in an intersection and when the North Brunswick PD got a towing company from the town to move the vehicle she refused to get out of her vehicle because she wanted to wait for AAA. North Brunswick Police Department provided video and audio recorded evidence which showed Officer Abarca being disrespectful to a North Brunswick Police Officer.
