A New Jersey Township Approves a $1 Million Settlement Over a Deceased Dispatcher’s Discrimination Suit
The estate of a former police dispatcher will receive $1 million as part of a settlement with the township over alleged racist discrimination he faced within the Wall Police Department.
The township will pay $500,000 to the estate of Nicholas Curcio, who spent 22 years as a police dispatcher and was promoted to the rank of communications supervisor before he charged with official misconduct and placed on unpaid leave. He was eventually acquitted of all charges.
The other half of the settlement sum will be covered by the town’s insurance carrier.
