Glen Rock Appoints Reamy's Replacement In Detective Bureau: Report

Glen Rock Police Officer Michael Trover has been appointed to replace Detective Sgt. Eric Reamy, who was suspended without pay since being charged with endangering the welfare of a child Aug. 5.

Chief Frederick Stahman announced Trover was appointed to the position temporarily for six months, NorthJersey.com reported, and, possibly, permanently at the end of the probationary period.

Trover joined the department in 2006 and is a field training officer with the department, the report states. He may be designated an officer-in-charge when shift sergeants are not on duty.

Trover has been cited recently for his ”investigative techniques” and work in narcotics and DWI enforcement; in 2012 he was commended for his arrest of a New York man for allegedly possessing 337 heroin packets, the report states.

Reamy was due to retire Aug. 31. Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli charged him Aug. 5 with five counts of endangering the welfare of a child. He allegedly exchanged sexually explicit text messages with 14- and 17-year-old girls.

Reamy was suspended from the department Aug. 6. He was released on $250,000 bail last week, but is under house arrest and must wear a GPS-enabled ankle bracelet. He initially return to his Fair Lawn home, but was supposed to move into a relative’s home. He may leave only to visit his attorney or doctor and must notify the Bergen County Sheriff’s Department in advance.
