State corrections officials have demoted and stopped paying a top Department of Corrections official who got arrested last week after police accused her of causing an August drunken driving crash in Ocean County that seriously injured an elderly woman.
Tracey Shimonis-Kaminski, 46, was deputy commissioner overseeing department operations when she became the target of a state corruption investigation in April 2022 and subsequently got suspended and banned from all correctional facilities.
True, but standards are a bit higher for people in positions of authority.
I meant my criticism to be divorced from the main topic. Certainly police should be held to a higher standard.
